"I adapted the original recipe for this flavorful soup so I could make it in the slow cooker," writes Lydia Kroese from Minnetonka, Minnesota. "It's ideal for staff luncheons at the school where I work, since we don't have easy access to a stove or oven."

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week.
