This recipe is a combo of 3 others that I have used over the years. It's easy to make with basic ingredients. I prefer making it in the dutch oven but it could be easily adapted to your slow cooker if you so desire. We really enjoy the heartiness of this soup but it is surprisingly easy on the waistline which is a huge bonus. Serve it piping hot with a nice side salad or some crusty bread .. yum yum yum !
