I work a fulltime job and like to get out and about at night. Using a crock pot saves me time in the kitchen and helps me keep good, home made food in our house. The recipes I post here will be mostly vegetarian crock pot recipes or seafood crock pot recipes. Some recipes are originals, some are versions of other recipes. I never follow a recipe exactly. I promise that everything I post will be taste-tested first by my top-of-the-line eaters.

Soup for Curing what Ails Ye!
I made this soup for gerg when he came home from the hospital.
We ate it for a couple meals with oyster crackers.
You can leave the crockpot on for several hours without ruining the flavor or texture of this recipe.
Garden Vegetable Soup
1 qt. vegetable stock
2 cups of water
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 potato, diced
1 onion, minced
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 10 oz package frozen peas
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup frozen sweet corn
5 crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp of garlic, minced
1-2 tsp. sea salt (or you can use regular salt, but the flavor won't be as good)
2 tsp. marjoram
2 tsp. basil
1 bay leaf
¼ c. parsley
1 tbsp celery salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 pats of butter
THE METHOD:
Just put this stuff in the Crock-Pot and let cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.

oh, I just got my first crock pot! I will check these all out.
I read your Blog and printed off a copy of your veggie soup and mac and cheese. That soup is heavenly. I changed a couple things in it as I didn't have all the ingredients you had listed.
I doubled the recipe and used 1 qt chicken broth and 1 quart water. I included broccoli and cauliflower, a combo of veggies which included pea pods, carrots and something else, a couple layers of 1/2 onion, and brussel sprouts cut in half.
Because my slow cooker wasn't big enough for all this I used my roaster and let me tell you girl I have never tasted anything so good in all my life. I never was a soup eater except Campbell's Chicken Noodle but since I met your uncle I'm learning to eat much more and this soup was stupendous. The olive oil and butter I think brought the whole thing together.
Greg is getting one heck of a good cook. I'm looking forward to trying the Mac and Cheese next.
Love you!
