I love soups because you can easily make large batches in the crock-pot. I'm all about less effort and more reward! :D I found a split-pea soup recipe years ago in Real Simple, tore it out and planted it in my recipe book. It's turned into a staple. Though you really don't even need a recipe. It has all the basic elements of a good soup: some stock, some spices, some meat and/or veggies, some base ingredient (rice, potatoes, beans, etc.) This soup is stock, onions, carrots, split-peas, and ham-hocks [which is a cheap tasty meat for the budget conscious]. If you're lazy like me, you don't even have to chop the carrots very much. Throw in some thyme and you're golden. Now if only I could find a really good potato soup recipe....
