Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken & Potato Soup

A warm and creamy soup with very minimal effort is our ideal dinner. Prep everything in the morning and then come home at night to this delightful soup that will please everyone. No need to sear or use any other skillet. It's hearty and filling and just the thing you need to life up your spirits. The slow cooker makes the chicken completely fall apart while making the potatoes creamy and tender. Use your favorite curry powder to spice up the dish and make it even more comforting.

Slow-Cooker Sausage and White Bean Soup

A good, hearty white bean soup is one of our favorite ways to warm up in the colder months. (We're also big fans of Escarole White Bean Soup.) The best part of this particular recipe: You can make everything in the slow cooker, which means less mess and less work. We *do* suggest searing the sausage though, if you can swing it. Seared sausage = more flavor. Not a fan of kale? Sub in another hearty green like spinach or swiss chard.
