Ok – enough of the tacos, now it’s time for meal two and we are going to take a few minutes before you leave for work (or out for the day) to do just a bit of prep work.

Remove the “starter soup” from the refrigerator and set it on the cupboard to bring to room temperature. You’ll also need to do some chopping. 

• 1 red pepper, diced  
• 1 cup of chopped cabbage – green or red, either will taste delicious
• 1 can of black beans, drained & rinsed
• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
• 1 can hominy, drained & rinsed – this is optional, but I’d recommend it – so delicious in the stew!

Put all of the above ingredients in the slow cooker. Add in the “Starter Soup” from meal one and top it off with 2 cups of chicken stock and give it a good stir. Put the lid on tightly and set your slow cooker on low.

Set it, forget it – walk away, go to work or go play. Give it 8-10 hours on low and when you get home you’ll smell this amazing soup from the moment you open the door!
