Tonight I tried another recipe from the Vegan Slowcooker book. I made a crock pot full of tortilla soup. It was really tasty. So tasty that milo ate three bowls of it. I definitely added my own touches to this and I think it contributed to the recipe nicely. Other than a little bowl of soup for me to have for lunch the next day, Milo and dj finished this whole crock pot off in one evening!
