I had a lot of requests for my Italian Wedding Soup, so here it is...enjoy...very healthy and warming and especially great during the winter months.
8 cups of water (I don't start with chicken stock, with all the below ingredients it is plenty flavorful)
1 large yellow onion chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
6 cloves of garlic, skinned and left whole
box of mushrooms, sliced
Saute in olive oil til onions are clear and throw into the slow cooker
Add:
4-6 links Italian sausage after browning in a skillet.
4 red rose potatoes, sliced
4 carrots, sliced
2 cups of pearl couscous
tumeric powder
2" raw ginger root, grated
8 hours of cooking slow, it's ready when you get home for dinner.
I usually put mine together early in the morning...it's deliciious any time. It lasts me 3-4 days. Take a bowl on the road with me for lunch and then have it for dinner. I never tire of it, and often use the same basic ingredients and switch the meat out with chicken or beef cubes. Very healthy, and lean.
