SWEET POTATO, CHICKEN, AND QUINOA SOUP .

We are approaching winter, and soups become a weekly staple in the Grootenboer household. I will be sharing easy and healthy recipes that my husband and I love and make on a regular basis. This is a recipe that we just tried out for the first time and are in love. So I just had to share it with you all! It is so simple, healthy, AND you just throw everything into a slow cooker. Seriously, slow cooker is the way to go, we use our slow cooker at least twice a week. What's not to love about dumping all of the ingredients into a big pot and letting it cook for a few hours and when you are home from work or ready to eat, boom, it is ready for you and is always packed with so much flavour!
