More Soup! Here I go again ... Vegan, hearty, delicious

In search of the perfect bowl of soup. I want it to be a meal in a bowl -- rich, satisfying, and utterly delicious. This definitely fits the bill.

I mean, seriously. I don't know if I can properly describe the exquisite aroma and flavour of this soup. You'll just have to come over and eat it. Or make some yourself.

  1. You can tell ive been away for a bit and am planning meals...how long, do you think, on medium?

  2. Welcome back :) Probably around 6 hours on medium. Things like split peas and lentils cook faster than other things like soaked chickpeas or soaked limas. To be honest, this is just a guess because my crockpot only has low and high, so I'm not sure how long the medium would take ... But probably 6 would work. Guess that's why it's called 'slow food'.
