Nothing satisfies like a steaming bowl of soup or hearty stew. Fortunately, nothing could be easier to make. Just combine a few ingredients, turn on the pot (or better yet, the slow cooker) and you're on your way to a home-cooked one-pot meal the family is sure to love.
Add to this the Betty Crocker reputation for foolproof recipes that always taste great you've got a book sure to satisfy even the busiest cook.
The chapters are organized into Meaty Soups; Vegetable, Bean and Grain Soups; Satisfying Stews; Chilis and Chowders; and Slow Cooker Soups and Stews. There are hearty meat dishes as well as lots of vegetarian options. Slow-cooker recipes have their own chapter.
The recipes include such varied flavors as Asian Beef and Noodle Soup, Acorn Squash and Apple Soup, Zesty Autumn Pork Stew, Chipotle Pork Chili, and African Groundnut Stew with Chicken.
