Crock Pot Veggie Soup

Today I thought I'd share this fantastic soup with you. I am very hard to please in the kitchen, I have become a real picky eater and hate it. I'm trying to fix that LOL. Well I was looking for some recipes for my crock pot that has been sitting in my basement for 4 years and along came my mother in law to the rescue. So this is a recipe she gave me and it is delicious!!!!

1-2 large cans of Tomato juice (46oz)
Whole Potato
Celery
Carrots
Squash
Canned/frozen/fresh Corn
Canned/frozen/fresh Peas

Chop fresh vegetables and add them to the Juice in the slow cooker first as they will take more time to cook than canned or frozen vegies. After an hour or so of cooking, add corn and peas. Let this simmer as long as you like for the flavors to come together – 6 or more hours.

Option: to make this Chicken or Beef vegetable soup, add chicken or beef pieces in the slow cooker with juice for about 2 hours – fresh vegis can be placed in the juice with the chicken or beef. Then add canned or frozen vegi’s later

Salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste!

This is a simple easy recipe and it is soooo delicious!!

I am very new to this cooking thing, yes I am 35 but I never really had to cook. I can do your basics, pasta, grilled cheese, cereal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, but never really ventured away from that. My problem is I get hungry and I want to eat now, not after I figure out how to cook, now, so my best friend has been the microwave.
My husband BTW is a chef, yes sounds great but he doesn't do much cooking at home since he's always at work, but he does bring food home, Plus #1 and plus #2 is it can go in the microwave and I can eat it now! I am a very boring eater so he really doesn't like to cook for me anyway, I don't like spice, really don't eat much in condiments except BBQ and parm cheese I don't even use pepper, so he really doesn't like to cook for me anyway.
Which brings me to where I am today, I am learning how to cook, I have 2 kids 1 and 3 and I have to figure out this cooking thing fast. This past Christmas I started baking cookies, they came out well at least thats what I was told. LOL Funny thing is for Christmas I received my 1st recipe box. Hahaha.
Now I've been hearing about alot of people using a crock pot. We have one, its in the basement in the box it came in for our wedding, 5 yrs ago. I've always wanted to use it but never new how or what to put in it, my husband doesn't really crock pots, I mean he's a real cook, its art to him, so many I can see that. But I need it!! I don't however have any recipes. So I'm calling out to the bloggy world Help me find some crock pot recipes...... please send me some, comment, email littlemamasdiapers.com, twitter, FB, something!! Please help!!
