Really Hearty Slow Cooker Soups

[Soliloquy]

I need really filling slow cooker soup recipes for ski days. We get home exhausted and HUNGRY. I need to be able to prep the majority of the ingredients the night before and plug in the slow cooker early in the morning.

Any suggestions? I have a recipe for a really hearty pasta fagioli but some of us are getting tired of it. I love potato corn chowder but I haven't found the perfect recipe, yet. They've all been too watery, not thick enough. I prefer whole-food ingredients but I welcome all recipes because I can usually adapt any recipe to whole foods.

Here's the pasta fagioli soup recipe that's really hearty:

2 lbs ground beef, cooked
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 16 oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 16 oz can white beans, drained and rinsed
30 ounces broth
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Tabasco
1 20 oz jar spaghetti sauce
8 ounces pasta

Put everything but pasta into slow cooker. High 4 hours or low all day. Add pasta last 10 minutes of cooking (or until al dente). Thin with broth or water, if needed. (Leftovers usually need to be thinned.)



Later this week I'm trying CrockPot Green Chilie Chicken Enchilada Soup
