If you read my blog, you know I’m a fan of the slow cooker. Slow cookers are a great way to make healthy meals with only a few minutes of prep. My kids almost always like slow cooker meals which is an even bigger bonus.

I try to eat cruciferous, cancer-fighting, vegetables at least once a day. A bowl of this soup has a few servings of cruciferous cabbage, protein packed beans, and almost no fat.

I make this while I’m making the kid’s breakfast before they go to school in the morning. I love dropping them off knowing I’m done cooking for the day! I left out a few ingredients I don’t use from the original recipe, but it’s a great book if you’re looking for vegetarian, slow cooker recipes.
