If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
This recipe is also delicious with bell peppers. Yum!

It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.
I also really like this crockpot as well. I use this all the time and it’s great.
My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.
I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.
Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!

Carol says
Great recipe, and I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand! I modified slightly by using one can of beans which was plenty for my family and fire roasted diced tomatoes which added a nice touch. I also cooked this in my Instant Pot on the slow cooker option which was a first for me. It worked out well; I just really missed having the aroma that comes from the crock pot.
Vicki says
We love sour cream
Can I add this with all ingredients or in place of something in recipe?
Carrie says
I would just top the soup with some sour cream and that would be delicious!
