    Looks like a great recipe! I love that it can be done in a slow cooker and simmer. This would be the perfect soup to make this time of the year now that the weather is getting cooler.

    Sounds good, although I’d love it if the post included a photo. I can often sell the family on new recipes when they see the finished product more easily than I can with just a text recipe. I’ll have to give this one a try, though.
