I reheated a bowl of last night’s superstar soup!
Since the Crock Pot Challenge is in full swing, I set out to make a carrot-based soup in the slow cooker yesterday.
I let a pound of chopped carrots, a peeled and sliced sweet potato and a sliced onion sit in the crock pot with chicken broth and seasonings for eight hours. The vegetables were nice and soft and easy to blend into a smooth and delicious soup at dinnertime.
