I don't really have recipes for a crock pot but this one has no meat in it and you can make it on the stove fairly quickly. It is:
Greens, Tomato & White Bean Soup
Ingredients:
1 TBSP Olive Oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped (1 cup)
3 cloves garlic minced (t tablespoon)
2 14 1/2 oz. cans reduced sodium chicken or vegetable broth
14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes, with juice
1/2 cup whole-grain orzo or other small shape pasta
1/2 crushed red paper flakes (optional - if you use, put in AFTER you cook)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
15 oz can white kidney beans, rinsed
4 cups chopped spinach or escarole (about 1 bunch)
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the broth, tomatoes, orzo, black pepper and water. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook until the pasta is tender, about 6 minutes.
Add the beans and greens, then cook, stirring often, until the greens are tender, about another 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with red pepper, if desired, and parmesan cheese.
My other favorite soups are 16 bean soup and chicken/vegetable/noodle soup and both are made in a stock pot. I really only use the crock pot if I am making a pot roast.
