The sausage sounds like a great idea! I'll try that one night. Thanks!

For richer flavor and less calories, I'd brown the meat in garlic and add the salt and pepper to it (maybe even a little soy sauce) . Basil in the soup would be good too. If you want to make it creamy, add one container or plain greek yogurt. SO many options. Thanks for the comment!

Super easy. Totally good for you, and loved by my family

just an update. I made this again and I used frozen carrots and let everything cook in the crock pot. I used some sage sausage (is this ok?) and some Italian seasoning, anyway it was good on day one and my kids liked it better this time. Thanks again

Okay made this for dinner last night and it was pretty good. the next time I make it i will use stock and more seasoning. I have a feeling it might have fuller taste today. Thanks for the healthy and quick dinner idea.
