Okay, I’m sure you all know about my kicks where I don’t want to eat meat by now. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, so I’ll just pretend that you guys remember me talking about it a million times. I woke up so sick the other day, didn’t want to eat meat, and just wanted something warm and comforting. I had tons of veggies in my refrigerator, so I wanted to do something with them. It was also raining out, so soup was just calling my name. I was so sick that I wasn’t even in the mood to be in the kitchen. That’s when my crockpot becomes my best friend. I literally threw a ton of veggies into the crockpot and fell asleep. I woke up and I had the most delicious vegetable soup. It was nourishing, simple and comforting. For my veggie lovers and healthy eaters, you guys will love this soup! Enjoy!
