And just like that…..it feels like winter.
If you haven’t gotten on the whole soup/slow cooker thing, now is the time my friends. And I’ve got the perfect recipe for you to start. This slow cooker chicken and veggie soup is so comforting, so hearty, so delicious, and so healthy! So you can totally feel better about grabbing that second bowl.
I’m sure you know by now, but I’m obsessed with slow cooker meals. The recipes I’m making lean healthy, make a ton, and I can cook them during the day while the boys are at school so in the evening I can focus on them/their activities. It fits our lifestyle so well and I love that I get to smell something delicious cooking all day long in my home.
This recipe is a wonderful place to start if you haven’t tried any yet. You basically just dump everything in – it doesn’t get much easier than that. Come dinner time stir in a little cream cheese (to die!!!) and drop with some fresh cheddar and cilantro.
You just won dinner.
