Now that the nights are drawing in, I feel it’s time for a warming slow cooker pot meal. There’s nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a fresh soup cooking in the evening. It’s that warming smell on a cold Winters night that I love. It makes me feel very cosy. For this meal I through everything into the slow cooker. A slow cooker not only saves me time and money but it also gives me a warm satisfaction on a cold evening. We really enjoyed this soup and we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Spicy Slow Cooker Carrot and Lentil Soup was so tasty and easy. To be honest, I loved it but Howard and Ted weren’t so keen. I thought it was really yummy. I had the leftovers for lunch the next day and they were even better than the night before. I served this with cheesy toast for the boys and with chickpea wraps for myself. All of the ingredients are freezable so you could make a big batch and freeze it for another occasion. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
