So everyone raves about these, but i never tried them until today. I don't know if it's lucky coincidence, but i will definitely be trying them a 2nd time!I decided to put as many zero-effort items into the crockpot as i could find, and see how it came out. So i combined:
1/2 a bag of frozen chopped onions and green peppers
1/2 a bag of frozen chopped butternut squash
2 frozen chorizo (or so i thought, i think they were the similarly named portuguese sweet sausages)
2 frozen portabella asagio sausages
1 can of diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 can white beans
1 container of chicken broth
several turns of salt and pepper grinders
some (few shakes?) of oregano or italian seasoning, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder
1 package frozen cheese ravioli
Combine everything except beans and ravioli, and cook for 6-8 hours on low. Add beans and ravioli with about 1 hour remaining, voila! I took the sausage out right before serving and chopped up, but it's pre-cooked. There are no rules. Served with some parmesan because i had some. mmmm! What should i call it? Crock-pot-sausagy-soupy-breeze?
Maybe it's not the tomatoes... i've also never ever before used frozen chopped onions and green peppers, frozen chopped butternut squash, nor either type of sausage. But who cares, it was one of the easiest meals i've ever made, and delicious! Almost like a really great minestrone... only with ravioli and sausage, haha.
How in the eff did I not know that this blog existed????? I'm such a dope!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds.... interesting. Yeah, thats the word. Glad it turned out well though!
Off to read your archives :)
haha, you're not a dope, i only started a few weeks ago! And yeah, i was worried the soup would be gross, but luckily it wasn't :) The squash kind of melted away... didn't taste butternut squashy at all, just filled out the soup (think more like summer squash than winter squash, and then it's not weird at all). Same for the chili powder, wasn't spicy at all, just made for a round flavor.
