Its winter time here in Austin and lately its been much more cooler than usual. We have been craving something warm and soothing. This is simple soup recipe using slow-cooker. I put all the ingredients in the slow-cooker in the later afternoon and by the dinner time, warm soup was ready without me looking at it even once !
