Today was a crock pot soup kind of day. If you don’t already know what that means, it means that I’m too lazy to actually cook a meal. But we’re going to call this being efficient, ok?

Since Mr. Real Food loves all things spicy, I decided to throw together some spicy vegetarian bean soup.

And it actually turned out well and made plenty for leftovers! That means that, in addition to dinner being ready, my lunch for the next couple of days is done too. Definitely a win!

There is very little prep work involved in this recipe. Just chop an onion, celery and garlic and you’re good to go! Near the end, you’ll have to also chop some cabbage and spinach (or you could chop it when you chop the other ingredients). Easy enough, right? And if you don’t want a vegetarian soup, you could add some browned meat. But this soup is hearty enough on it’s own!
