Slow Cooker Lentil Soup

Alex Resch’s slow cooker lentil soup has just 7 ingredients and comes together quickly for a warm and comforting dinner. Get this started early in the day and dinner is ready when you are!

Escarole and Beans

This meal takes less than 30 minutes to make, including the time to chop and clean the greens, and it's economical too! I like to serve it with hearty bread or rolls and some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Leftovers heat well in the microwave, though you might want to add a little extra liquid as the broth will thicken up.

Homemade Tortilla Soup
