Feb 22

When it's cold outside there is nothing better than coming home to a big hot bowl of steaming soup. Soup is a healthy and filling meal. It's also very easy to prepare and cook. Many people, not that it's a bad thing will buy soup from the supermarket. Honestly, with a slow cooker it's very easy to make a soup at home.

Plus slow cookers are very economical and can save money. They are cheaper than cooking in the oven. The best part about a slow cooker is putting all the ingredients into the pot and leaving them to cook most of the day. In recent years I have made a variety of soups mainly in the slow cooker. They have all been delicious but this one has to be a favourite. We all enjoyed this dinner and we hope you do too.

Stir all these ingredients together with the spoon.
Turn the slow cooker on for 2 -3 hours on high or 5 - 6 hours on low.
Once the soup has finished cooking turn the slow cooker off and leave to cool.
When it has cooled down pour about half the ingredients into the blender.
Or as much as your blender will comfortably hold then blend the ingredient together.

Heat the soup up in the saucepan.
Then serve with cheesy bread or my chickpea flour wraps and enjoy.
