This Winter recipe we’ve found is an easy Veggie and Barely Soup that can be made in your slow cooker.
It’s a chop it up, chuck it in and forget style of recipe and it’s also Vegan.
It’s easy to prep and you can even chop it all up the night before and store it in your fridge so it’s ready to pop into the crock pot first thing in the morning. Makes for a very yummy dinner that evening.

*Just a small tip that I found helpful. Cutting up two onions can make you cry so I opted to cut them slightly chunkier. After cooking the larger onion pieces became a little tough and I prefer the onion to be cut really finely or even minced in a kitchen wizz.
