Slow cookers are great for people with limited cooking experience or limited time. In many cases, all you need to do is add all ingredients to the cooker, cover, and set the temperature for low or high cooking. There is no stirring, little or no sticking, and slow cookers with separate crocks can go right in your dishwasher.

Soups are ideal for slow cooker. Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup is an easy, low calorie, hearty, high fiber vegetarian soup.

One 12 oz. serving has about 170 calories and 5 grams of fiber including the pasta. Adding pasta is optional. Substituting whole wheat pasta increases fiber.
