Here's a list of personal soup, stew, and chili slow-cooker recipes I've made over time and saved. They're all my personal recipes (except for the split-pea soup) and they are all healthy along with being under 300 calories per serving (one of them being over). Here's the photos, ingredients, directions, and calories per serving. Enjoy!

    I use small bowls or regular sized mugs and fill it. The serving size is around 1.5 cups (hard to be exact because of the veggies, water, etc, which sometimes take up more space than not.)
