I love my crock pot! Like, mildly obsessed. I have four boys, two of which are in football and have practice EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Well, until school starts at least - which is next week, yay!! I bet you're thinking "Oh, those poor boys!" But you really should be thinking, "Oh you poor mom!" :) I end up shuttling those boys around to and from practices all while dealing with my two toddler boys who are only a scarce 11 MONTHS APART! (Can you tell I'm feeling the caps lock today, ha!)
Anywho, my evenings are crazy and it's so nice to be able to throw some ingredients into my trusty crock pot in the morning and let it cook. Then I can happily pick up my boys from practice at night, force them to shower, and then we can all sit down together and have a home-cooked meal that I didn't slave over the stove for! Doesn't that sound nice?!  For reals, you will love this soup! It's one of those super basic & versatile recipes but the flavors are amazing. It's so easy and tastes like a million bucks!
