Slow Cooker White Bean and Collards Soup (gluten free)
Among the many joys of fall is pulling out the slow cooker for the season. Not only does it produce warm, cozy food, but it's efficient, affordable and easy to cook with (or with which to cook, Mom!). I easily use my too small 3 quart slow cooker twice per week, usually for a chili or soup on Sunday that I serve up for my solo lunch early week. Last week I tried a riff on my standard white bean and kale soup and combined the flavor and protein of my pea soup standby. Here's the slow cooker white bean and collards soup (gluten-free) to add to your seasonal lineup. Enjoy!
