Made today in the slow cooker whilst at work and it was so yummy - had fully intended to have couscous with it but it was so thick and stodgy just had it with corn on the cobs.

1 onion chunky chop
2 cloves of garlic crushed
250g soup mix (barley, split pea & lentil) soaked in water overnight
1/2 large butternut squash in big chunks
1/2 large swede in big chunks
2 large carrot chunky chop
can of button mushrooms
can of butter beans
400ml chicken stock (i think didnt actually measure)
pinch of curry powder, thyme, dried mixed herbs, bayleaf, coriander, pepper

Cook on low for 8-10 hours

Rather late reply I know but about to start SW and really like the sound of this recipe - wouldn't it be free on green (with veg stock) I can't see anything in there that needs pointing but I could be totally wrong?/ Thanks.

I am glad this thread has resurfaced! I made a lovely beef casserole yesterday in the slow cooker and it was gorgeous! I am planning to do a curry this week.

Rice pudding in it is brilliant!

I tried porridge once and it was burnt solid in the morning!!!!

This week I did a whole chicken in the slow cooker, I put 4 balls of foil in bottom for it to sit on and added some stock and herbs and a lemon in the cavity and cooked it for 6 hrs on high - if fell apart and was sooooooooo tender. Really easy

Hi would you cover the chicken with stock or just a bit of stock Thanks

 

[maypole]

Hi would you cover the chicken with stock or just a bit of stock Thanks

I don't use any stock with mine or water

Just made the chicken soup recipe out of this month's magazine and it was delicious, using left over chicken, pearl barley, leeks, carrots, left out the celery as I dont like the taste and it is delish

[Kenco]

I was so impressed with the slow cooker the beef was out of this world.What am i going to try next!!lol.x

 

[anita1975]

brought asda slow cooker monday, used twice. brill. first made a butter bean stew (carrots, leaks, butter beans, garlic, swede, vegan stock, and passata) was lovely on the day. just eaten left over and really really nice 3 days later. have also made a leak and potatoe soup, it was nice but have made better. think it was me more than the slow cooker. currently have a veggie chillie on the go, whole house smells good. even the dog is sniffing about.

 

[Yummymummyuk]

Got mine on today first time in yonks!!! Got a gammon joint in it resting on celery sticks and sprinkled with onion and just a bit of water in the bottom. Will let you know how it turns out.
