Hi wee bargain hunter,

If you have a look through the Complete Slow Cooker Collection you'll find lots of recipes there that should help.

Onions

garlic ( i use frozen for the above 3)

Thanks chilli sounds nice. Curious about the frozen items though. Do you freeze them raw and then defrost? I've got half a raw onion in the fridge and a few sad peppers at the moment. I have a vague memory of someone on here storing things like this in a tub in the freezer till they were needed. Not sure if they cooked them first though.

In the meantime, I started reading Mr BE's thread last night and got some good ideas. Will try to finish reading it tonight. Think a stew with red wine will be made here soon!
Or maybe beef, ale and mushroom something.
Really looking forward to getting this thing working!

My favourite is fairly simple but I don't have any exact quantities.

white/brown rice (a layer of about an inch or enough per person...as per packet)
chicken pieces/breasts (raw)
campbell's condensed soup (mushroom/chicken)
water (equal to soup)
Paprika (sprinkling)

Put rice, soup n water into cooker, lay chicken on top, sprinkle with paprika. Turn on, leave for a few hours, eat.

You can add whatever you want to it also, like peas, mushrooms, stock cubes etc. Allrecipes.com has a huge selection of recipes for the 'crock pot' as they call it.

Hi Feef,

Soup in the slow cooker is made in much the same way as making soup on the hob. You'll find lots of recipes on this thread: Soup recipes or have a browse through The Complete Slow Cooker Collection

I made a chicken noodle soup in my slow cooker - just used Marigold stock, some browned chicken, sweetcorn, mushrooms and noodles and left it. Was delicious although I added too many noodles - duh! Be warned this isn't a thick, hearty soup...its more like a Chinese one.

Leek & Potato soup is fab from the slow cooker.

Simply put sliced leeks, sliced potato and chopped onions in with a stock cube in hot water and there you have it!
