I make a base soup of canned broth, a can of tomatoes with chilis (or not

:-), garlic, onion and celery and some kind of seasoned pepper and then add

whatever - usually chopped cabbage and kidney beans at least. Throw it in

the crock pot, et voila! My meal in a flash for days, LOL! I should

mention here that I live alone and use lots of garlic. Another good trick

is a little allspice.

Again there are lots of recipes in our shared files - url at the bottom of

each message. And I do love Google.

> I eat a lot of beans for their fiber content and for the protein because I

do not eat a lot of meat. I have used Google as a resource for many things

including finding recipes. I search under High fiber and also under

vegetarian and have gotten some good recipes. I just stick to the high fiber

ones and limit the fats I cook with the " good " oils, mostly olive oil.

Well, tonight I took that same base, except used chicken broth instead of

beef broth, a can of diced tomatoes, chopped celery, garlic, onion, lemon

juice, back pepper, simmered til vegetables soft and added some clams and

mussels and (pealed) shrimp I found on sale. Cooked 'til clam and mussel

shells open and shrimp were done - wonderful!!
