On rainy days like today I love to brew up a big crock pot of home-made soup. I start with some stock, then add some chicken with decent sized bones, onions and garlic, a potpourri of chopped fresh veggies and a good sprinkling of seasonings.

Within an hour or so, a delicious and mouthwatering aroma perfumes every room of my home and I feel very pleased because I know that I will eat well for many days.

The nice thing about crock pot soups is that you really do NOT have to add any fat, if you are dieting.

While a couple slices of butter and a swirl of cream, add a lovely rich, smooth velvet-like texture to a pot of soup - it is not essential.
