good ol’ chili

If you’re looking for a super simple chili recipe, this is for you.

It’s hearty!

It’s meaty!

It’s full of frijoles!

And just like many soups, it was just as tasty reheated.

I enjoy a variety of types of chili dishes – chicken, vegetarian, lighter, heartier… so I should share more recipes in the future…

But here is a classic! It’s easy to make (in a slow cooker) and great for a cold winter evening for all you not living on the Equator and in a different hemisphere than us. ;)

slow cooker lasagna soup

In general, Mike and I love soups. Sometimes that’s all we order at certain restaurants and we like eating it at home, too.

I’ve tried many different new-to-us soup recipes over the years, usually in the crockpot, but most aren’t truly share-able, in my opinion. I only want to post on here the ones we really liked and want to remember!

So here is one. Lasagna in soup form! I didn’t do much adjusting from so you can read about it there or  for the printable recipe. Hope you enjoy it, too!

I realized I haven’t shared this recipe before – it’s one of my favorite soups from one of my favorite cookbooks, Taste of Oregon.

It can’t be extremely healthy for you, but have small portions and you’ll be all right. ;)
