Hi sorry to be dumb but what sort of stock cubes? Veg ones? Also do yuo just chuck the lentils in dry?

Thanks

best stock you can get, imho, is marigold bouillon, try it and be converted!

I use marigolds, and love it. I try to stock up at Julian Graves when they have their sale on.

Hi sunrise,

I treat soups that I make in the slow cooker in exactly the same way as I would if I were to cook them on the hob, so use your usual recipes and let them simmer away for as long as you like.

There is an existing thread on cooking soup in the slow cooker so I'll add your post to it to keep the replies together and if you want some new soup recipes there are lots on this thread:

I made some beef stock in the slow cooker yesterday,with marrowbones the butcher gave me.
I have a recipe for ham hock and bean soup.
I have brought the ham hoch to the boil,then changed the water,it says to simmer for 1 and a half hours.

Can I do this in the slow cooker,then i add allthe rest of the ingrediants (according to the recipe,boil,and then simmer for 40 mins.

I have acquired a big slow cooker that has 1 (low) auto and 2 (higher) settings (kenwood cook pot,pretty old)

oops,had to edit that quick as i spelt cook wrong:o

I do a lot of my 'normal' soup recipes in the slow cooker but tend to cook them all for about 8 hours on low. The only thing i would say is to reduce the amount of liquid that goes in as i find it seems to get runnier in the slow cooker - having said that when i do a lentil based soup i use the right amount of liquid and just chuck an extra handful of lentils in and it does the trick
