It’s cold outside so its no wonder this month is National Soup Month. Around here we love soup, especially in the winter, and especially when I can use a slow cooker. Soups taste great and often require little hands-on time which is a win-win for me.
Late last month I took an allergy test and discovered that I have a “foods to avoid” list that is a mile long. Thus, I’ve been on the search for good tasting food that is easy to fix and the whole family will still enjoy. This new recipe definitely fits the bill. On top of that, it provides yummy leftovers.
I originally found this recipe on Paleo Comfort Foods, but quickly modified it to work in a slow cooker. It tastes great no matter which version you use. And while I thought I’d miss my tortilla chips in soup, it really isn’t necessary with this recipe. Once you add avocado on top, you won’t need anything else. Enjoy!

Note: I use this homemade taco seasoning for our soups. It’s fast to make, and I get compliments on it all the time.
