I've never understood the need for crock pot 'recipes'. You can throw most anything into your crock pot in the morning and come home to a delicious conglomeration after work. It doesn't matter if you use meat in it or not.


For veggie soup, throw in all the different kinds of veggies you want and add a vegetable stock to just cover the ingredients.


If you want to add a little meat, toss it in too.


One really good tip, though. Have you ever used those crock pot liners? No clean up. That's a good thing whether your a vegetarian or not!!!How to use a slow cooker for vegetarian food. any savoury or sweet recipes. thanks?
