A Week of Warming Soups for the Slow Cooker

Imagine a week like this: every morning, you spend ten minutes (and I'm not exaggerating on that!) filling your slow cooker. Every evening, you make a salad and warm up some bread & have dinner with no work - and no stress! It can be done!

Or, every day, you fill your slow cooker while you're cooking something else. A few hours later, you pour the contents of the slow cooker into a freezer container, and freeze it. That way, in one week, with no extra time in the kitchen, you could have a freezer full of ready meals.

Soups are wonderful in the Fall & Winter - they're hearty, healthy warming, and less rich and heavy than other seasonal fare.

Give a few of these great soups a try for relaxing, warming dinners this week. No stress, no hassle, no need to stop for fast food : )

  8. I clicked on this at Mums Make Lists because I just got a slow cooker. I was so glad to realize that this was on your site because I knew all the recipes would be vegetarian! So many slow cooker recipes I've seen call for meat. Thanks for this collection!
