Last week, I posted a recipe for a Sausage and Chickpea Soup. I got a lot of questions about could it be customized and could you substitute this for that.
I thought I would share one of my favorite finds for making soup in the crockpot and it answers the substitute this for that question.
I saw this graphic on Facebook. It comes from HealthyFamilyProject.com. As you can see, this recipe is highly customizable. (I hope you can read the graphic.) It's also a very basic, beginner-friendly recipe.
I'm a dump and go cook and prefer the crockpot, but you can cook your soup on the stovetop. You just have to figure out the timing for meat and veg to be thoroughly cooked.
If something isn't on the list, for example, sausage is not included. There's no reason you can't use it. Would you prefer to use Chinese Five Spice to add flavor to chicken soup? It's not on the list, but use it. Use what you like and skip what you don't.
Have fun and be creative for the New Year.
Soups are great, and a way to enjoy all the things we should be eating regularly

DeleteWhat a great idea. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThis is my go to when I don't really feel like cooking. I can dump everything into the crockpot between noon and 2 pm and have supper on the table by 6 pm
DeleteSounds perfect for new year's eve!
ReplyDeleteOr any day.
DeleteIMHO soup is a 'do it yourself' endeavor.....if it sounds like it might be good, throw it in there!

🤣
DeleteWow! I'm not a giant soup guy but this is a brilliant idea- thanks for posting it. I really have to pull the crockpot out of the basement and use it. Winter needs some hearty soups!
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without my crockpot. The ultimate, lazy way to cook all year but especially during the Winter
DeleteI guess I didn't visit any blogs yesterday. Hmmm. This is a great chart. Isn't that the beauty of soup, how you can substitute all kinds of things. I hope you had a great Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYup, put in what you like. Leave out what you don't. Make it simple or complicated.
DeleteSoups are wonderful in the colder weather ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
And it's been really cold this week.
