I don’t know about you, but I love crock pot recipes. Especially on cold winter days when you are too cold to cook. This is easy to prepare and what’s better than coming home to dinner ready to eat? And its vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free too. What’s not to love?

LOVE TO COOK SIMPLE MEALS AND YOUR RECIPES SOUND DELICOUS!!!!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’m wondering if you drain the water after the soak? Or just add the rest of the ingred?
I think you could make it either way Laurie! I usually just drain the water after I soak them. Thank you!
What a wonderfully simple and delicious soup…even better that it’s made in a crockpot! xo, Catherine
