Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there nothing worse than thinking a recipe will be easy only to find that it takes you half the afternoon to make?
Prep time seven minutes? More like seven hours.
The only thing worse than difficult recipes that appear to be quick and easy are tasty-looking recipes that taste like dirty socks. I hereby solemnly swear that this crockpot soup is not only incredibly simple to make, but it also tastes like a big bowl of comforting deliciousness. Simply chop your veggies, measure out your broth and grains, and cook her up in the crockpot! Consider dinner done.
I added some little lentils for a protein boost, but you could get away with leaving them out if you're not a legume lover.
