Easy Crock Pot Bean Soup
Easy Crock Pot Bean Soup
I don’t know about you, but when we have these gloomy, rainy days I like to just get the crock pot going and let the cooking do itself! Since today was one of those days, we are having this Easy Crock Pot Bean Soup for dinner tonight! The main thing that I love about cooking in the crock pot, is that we still get a hearty, flavorful meal, but I’m not in the kitchen all day long. I have two small kids….and don’t have time for that! I can put this together pretty quickly in the morning, and go on about my day. Then, voila, dinner is done right on time!
