MOM'S GROUND BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP
From "One Pot Meals for People with Diabetes" This good, family-pleasing soup can be started in the a.m. and is ready to serve when you return home in the p.m. Since the ground beef and carrots must be browned before being added to the slow cooker, you may want to prepare them the night before, then refrigerate them until assembling all the ingredients the next morning.

- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or corn.
- Season the beans well: The beans should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
- Serve the beans with your favorite sides: Bean medley can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, bread, or salad.
