Crock Pot Soup
Posted on: January 15, 2013
In our house cold weather signals the time for a hardy and healthy winter soup! My grandmother (RIP Mama), used to make the best homemade vegetable soups, I can still taste the seasoned carrots, tomatoes, onions, celery and of course the soup bone with marrow. I was looking for new recipes and came across one that included kale which is my favorite vegetable.
Ingredients:
kale, soup beans, canned tomatoes, garlic, frozen veggies and soup stock.
I was going to use the smoked turkey necks but there wasn’t enough room in the pot. I had to use a larger crock pot because the bag of beans which had soaked overnight really expanded and I didn’t want to discard any of them. After spraying the crock pot with cooking spray I poured in the frozen veggies, beans, tomatoes, a spoonful of garlic and then topped with handfuls of kale. One packet of the homestyle stock was dissolved in warm water enough to cover the beans.
Cooked on low for 8-10 hours.
I came home to a house smelling GOOD and a fully prepared dinner! This soup was healthy, delicious and very filling, hubby topped his with a little Goat Cheese and I added a piece of brown bread (carbs are my down fall) and hot sauce!
Easy Breezy Crockpot Meal
Posted on: June 6, 2012
Tonight’s easy breezy crockpot meal contained only 5 ingredients
Chicken legs w thighs// mushrooms // stewed tomatoes // tomato paste // McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning
I used a crockpot liner to make clean up easier then put chicken and mushrooms into crockpot.
Mixed seasoning, tomatoes, and paste.
Poured mixture over the chicken and mushrooms, covered and cooked on high for 4 hours. I was home today but if I had gone to work I would have set it on low to cook for 8 hours.
Dinner is served!
Don’t forget to recycle.
