Super easy and a great way to get those vegetables in. Even picky eaters love this soup and cooking in a crock-pot means fuss free! Prep can be done the night before or even days before and additions frozen. We call it clean out the freezer soup around here, because I can use all the bits of frozen veggies I have left over to add in for extra hardiness.
