Slow Cooker Vegetable Recipes - Vegetable Stew

It is sure to fill you up rather nicely especially with the upcoming cool weather. Vegetable stew usually makes about six servings, depending on how much it is stretched among you and your family.

Ingredients:

• 4 carrots – make sure they are sliced well enough to get inside your slow cooker, it should equal about five cups.
• 2 turnips - If you like, two turnips should suffice in this meal making about three cups.
• 1 large onion – diced
• 2 garlic cloves – minced
• 1 can of diced tomatoes along with either vegetable or chicken broth. Of course, if you're a vegetarian you'll want the vegetable broth.
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 courgette into half slices
• 450g can of chickpeas, which would be drained.

Steps:

Combine all of these ingredients minus the courgette and chickpeas because you will add those later on. Everything else you'll need to throw in your slow cooker for three hours on high heat or six hours on low heat. At the end of that time, you'll then put in the chickpeas and courgette for the last hour on low heat. At the end of the hour, set the table and get the cornbread or crackers ready to enjoy with your family.
