    yummy, never thought to add sweet potatoes to soup.
    Love my crock pot, have gone through 2 of them already! Here's a meat free recipe I've been loving and making a lot, lately, from Fix It and Forget it Lightly:

    Sweet Potato Lentil Stew (serves 6)

    4 c fat free vegetable broth
    3 c (about 1 1/4 lbs) sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    1 1/2 c lentils, rinsed
    3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2" pieces
    1 medium onion, chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 tsp. cumin
    1/4 tsp ground ginger
    1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro or parsley
    1/4 tsp salt

    1. combine first nine ingredients in slow cooker.
    2.Cook on low 5-6 hours or just until vegetables are tender.
    3.Stir in cilantro and salt just before serving.

    Variations: For added flavor, you may want to increase cumin to 3/4-1 tsp and ginger to 1/2 tsp. You may also stir in 1/3 c raisins, 1/4 c chopped nuts, and 1/4 c grated coconut just before serving.

    ( I did not do the add on variations, but I DID bump up the seasonings and salt a bit.)

    Super Easy Whole Chicken In The Crock Pot


    Whole Chicken In The Crock Pot

    1 large chicken, we used about a 3.5 pound one but you can use whatever size you like that fits in your crock pot
    2 teaspoons paprika
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon thyme
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    1 onion (we used a red onion because it's what we had on hand)

    1.) Loosely chop the onion and layer it on the bottom of the crock pot.
    2.) Combine the spices in a small bowl.
    3.) If need be clean the insides out of the chicken and then rub the spice mixture all over the chicken (and in the inside too if you like).
    4.) Place the chicken on top of the onion in the crock pot and put on the lid. No need to add any kind of liquid.
    5.) Cook for 4-5 hours or until chicken is fully done.
    6.) Serve and enjoy!

    Corn beef
    Put in a lean corn beef into the crock pot. Cover with beer, I like Killians Red as it give the best flavor to the meat but any beer will do. Two hours before serving put in potatoes or cabbage. The meat will be very tender and so will the potatoes. And to answer the question none of the items will taste like beer. Just very rich and flavorful Cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4 hours
