Dust off your slow cooker and fire it up. Slow cooking can be rewarding. Nothing beats coming home to a house that smells like a five-star restaurant. Families rarely sit down and eat together anymore. Everyone's busy. The smell of delicious food is a reminder to slow down, share a homecooked meal and, each other's company. This book is about soup, so let's talk "soup." The canned stuff is full of salt and preservatives. It's also less nutritious and tasty than homemade soup from a slow cooker. Here's a list of recipes included in the book: Chicken Chili, Sicilian Chicken Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Stew, Chicken and Vegetable Soup, Beef Stew, Pasta e Fagioli, Slow Cooker Meat Sauce, Hearty Beef and Pasta Soup, Stick to Your Ribs Beef Chili, Italian Wedding Soup, Tomato Soup, New England Clam Chowder, Minestrone, Meatball and Chicken Tortellini Soup. For me, soup is all about the broth. So, not only have I included 15 traditional soup recipes, but I've added three bonus recipes for chicken, beef, and vegetable broth. Your "canned soup" days are over.
