Chipotle Veggie Soup

I love a little spice in my foods, and this soup has a bit of kick along with hearty vegetables. Even my husband (who is far from a soup fan) enjoyed this. Plus, it is so easy to make in the slow cooker that once you have all the ingredients mixed, you have time to focus on other things. It doesn’t get much easier than this. For this soup, I used Field Roast Chipotle Links, but any comparable brand will work.

In a medium skillet, heat the onion, links and red bell pepper over medium heat, just until tender and fragrant (about 3 minutes). 2. Add skillet mixture and remaining ingredients to a slow cooker.
