Week 8: Desperation Winter Soup

Total Time: About 20 minutes prep

Yield: About 10 servings

Source: Self

Ingredients:

• 5 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups dry split peas
• 4 carrots, peeled and coined
• 2 celery ribs, sliced
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 13 cups chicken broth (I make mine using bullion cubes - 1 cube dissolved in 1 cup boiling water = 1 cup broth)

Steps:

1. Place all of your ingredients into your crockpot. Mix well.

2. Turn setting to high. I checked mine exactly 3 hours and 46 minutes after turning it on. It probably would have been ready to eat after 3 hours on high. If you want to cook this on low, I would cook it for 6-8 hours.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who throws things in the crockpot and hopes for the best! Ha ha! That looks delicious.

Looks good. Need this right now.

My In Laws called it garbage soup when they cleaned out the fridge of this and that every Friday. Nothing garbage about it as they had a wonderful garden to raid for fresh ingredients. Sure do miss them.....
