Summer isn't a time one craves hot soup for dinner. Most people want salads, fresh fruit or maybe a cold soup like vichyssoise. But with all the major thunderstorms we have been getting, a nice bowl of soup is exactly what Brenden and I wanted to feast on after puddle hopping from work to errands to home.
The great thing about crockpots is that they are suitable to use at any point in the year. They are perfect for wintertime comfort foods. They keep the kitchen from heating up too much in those hot sticky summer months. If you want a lazy day, throw all your ingredients in the pot, kick back and binge on netflix until its done. Or, if you're busy and on the go, get the crockpot going on your way out for the day and come back to a house filled with the smell of dinner goodness.
