Kitchen Sink Crock Pot Soup
I usually reserve the crock pot for Hany’s dinner. I throw in some chicken, lamb, ground beef or some other meat with some veggies and he’s good to go. I have it easy in that department. But I hardly ever make anything for me because I end up getting sick of it after two days and start force feeding it to anyone who’s hungry. Norah wants a snack? Have some soup! Hany’s hungry after dinner? Here’s some soup! Nevertheless, I decided this month for recipe redux to treat myself to a crock pot vegetarian meal.
I find it hard to create a ton of flavor out of veggies from a crock pot. You definitely need to spice things up. This dish really serves more as inspiration to you than anything else. I just threw in what I had on hand, and so can you! The main template for a vegetarian crock pot stew or soup is liquid + spices + veggies + starch. It’s pretty simple. I used up the last of my California Sweetpotatoes, a bag of frozen spinach, 2 cans of beans, 2 carrots, a can of diced tomatoes and some veggie broth. I seasoned it up with Italian spices and Herbamare salt.
It was pretty cool after a long day to be the one who got to eat from the crock!!
