Slow Cooker - The Recipe Collection

my basic recipe for standard veg soup is ...

carrots, diced
turnip (swede) diced
onions, diced
leeks (optional but nice) sliced
any or all of lentils/barley/dries peas/dries beans (soak the large pulses overnight)
a tin of tomatoes & their juice (optional) crushed
soy sauce
salt & pepper
no quantities because everyone likes their soup different, I like mine so you can stand a spoon up in it

put in SC, cover with water & simmer till the pulses are done. adjust seasoning & add some fresh herbs if you like, my favourite is parsley

Thanks for that. How long roughly should it be cooked for??

If Swan doesn't get back on line you could go to the site linked above and pick a recipe similar to the one you have in mind and use the timing for that.

hi,
as this is a bit of a sc thread i thouhg i'd ask here rather than starting something new.
i bought my sc 2 weeks ago now - i spent a weekend cooking evey day - so my freezer still has meals left in it. everything i have done so far has been lovely - but my dumplings didn't work.

i have to admit that i bought a pack of dumpling mix - but instead of water i used the steak and kidney juice from the sc. but they came out all hard.

i know people have different tips of when to put them in etc - but i think i can do better than a pack of dumpling mix

thanks

sorry I missed the timing out I think I give about 5-6 hours on high or 8-9 on low .. if you're just using red lentils you could probably do it in less time as they cook quickly
