Soups On

Soup season starts for me from October to about April. The temperatures start to plummet, nights get longer and soup is just one of those meals that warns you up and fills you up too. Plus, it's budget friendly too!
One my favorite are vegetable soups, and there are endless permutations & combinations to make and serve. This is my favorite-and the bonus is its super fast and easy to prepare!

1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
1 can tomato paste
1 c boca crumbles cooked
4 c vegetable broth
1 bunch kale torn
1 c onion chopped and sautéed
1 c baby carrots
1 can kidney beans, drained
Red pepper flakes
You can also add chunked sweet potatoes, cooked butternut squash or additional beans

Dump everything into your crockpot, cook over low for 10 hours and serve with rustic bread (I love the French boule from Breadsmith!)
