Slow-cooker FTW!

One of the best parts about soup is how easy it is to make. This is especially true for slow-cooker (or crock-pot) recipes. I'm not lucky enough to have a slow-cooker of my own yet (it's on my Christmas list though! hint hint), but that's why I have friends. Right? Several of my friends have the book Fix It and Forget It (add that to my wish list too) which has a ton of great recipes.

I had a pretty busy night last night. I went straight from work to Spanish class and then stopped over to have dinner with some good friends - J, B & B. They served up the Veggie Chili from this book, but substituted vegetable stock for the tomato paste, giving it a much soupier consistency. I had mine with a dollop of sour cream and some fresh bread for dipping. ¡Muy delicioso! And it was served on a beautifully set table!
