Homemade Crockpot Kitchen Sink Soup

!!!!!!!!!!!SOUP!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite thing to whip up in the colder months


  Starting at the beginning - I do not follow a recipe when I'm making soup. I simply toss whatever I have on had or food that I am in the mood for into the pot.

This soup took a healthy twist and it was so delightful. Cozy, yet refreshing.

Ingredients:
Kale, Spinach, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Onion, Garlic, Zucchini, Gluten-Free Noodles (you do not need noodles), and Chicken Stock
**disclaimer: just put in however much you want of each ingredient. Don't get fussy about it**


Steps:
Sautee garlic and onion in sauce pan to bring out the flavors - then add to bottom of the crockpot.






Chop - chop your vegetables to similar sizes to ensure even cooking. (Carrots, Sweet Potatoes & Zucchini)





Add chicken stock - however much you need to get a consistency that you enjoy.



Add Kale and Spinach (no need to cut, it wilts down nicely while it cooks)

Give then entire pot a few really good stirs.

Set it on low for a few hours until it's heated all the way through.



ADD NOODLES (because I used G-Free noodles I did this last so that they wouldn't get soggy)





Lastly, EAT - eat so much you're stomach hurts. Then eat more tomorrow, and the next tomorrow, and the next tomorrow!

Kombucha

  My kombucha.
 
 
It turned out so well and was so easy to bring together! I am on my second round now and plan to split my SCOBY into the other jar so that I can experiment a little more!  
 
If you want more information totally just Google search scoby OR Kombucha and you'll get a ton of great resources and information.
 
PINTEREST is also a great place to find recipes and tips on how to make your on Kombucha.
 
I received my scoby from a friend, who is an avid Kombucha creator. You can purchase starter sets or start your own with just a few ingredients. It's best to get one from another batch to ensure it's quality.
 
Enjoy ~~
