Crock Pot Hearty Veggie Soup

Winter is at the tail end of its cycle. Here’s a recipe that will give you enough servings to get you through it…while keeping you warm and nourished. It’s my Mom’s and whenever I make it, I think about her and how much I love her.

Feel free to add in other veggies and make it your own – and start some great memories of your own!
