Recipe by Baby Kato

This savory soup is delicious, quick and so easy to make. Just throw everything into the crock pot and voile, a very tasty treat. Best of all it uses ingredients found in most kitchens. This tasty comfort food does not disappoint. Cook gently on low all day, stirring occasionally, being careful not to boil the soup. My grandma always said, soup boiled is soup that is spoiled.
