I know we're starting to get into warmer weather, but I still love my slow cooker and soups! In the warmer months, we're outside more and life gets a little crazier with sports, play dates at the park, and the hubby's work schedule. When we get in from a busy day full of fun, I really do not want to worry about putting dinner together.
So, not only do slow cooker meals allow me to throw dinner together in the morning, but I don't have to heat up the whole house cooking later! Win-Win!
I made this Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup with ground turkey, but you could substitute ground beef or omit mean all together for a meatless option.
