Okay... second only to the best invention ever... the Ikea, grate into the container w/ lid, cheese grater!!! Which I have sent to everyone for Christmas at least once... maybe twice. It's that well... great!
Anyway back to the 3 in 1. I luuurve it! I just toss things in and ten minutes or eight hours later, depending on the immediacy of the hunger, out comes an awesome meal that I just pushed a button and ignored for a while. So today's project began last night with Danold sharing the feeling that we need to use up the many squidgy looking carrots that have been taking up valuable real estate in the garden. So hmmm....carrot cake anyone? Sounds... awesome but.. nope just checked and I'm pretty sure I didn't get a fancy food processor to grate up those 3 cups of carrots. I got an awesome slow cooker combo thingy. So, soup it is!

Slow cooked black bean soup baby!
1/4 C. onion diced
2 carrots sliced into coins
2 celery stalks diced
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 tsp. salt
1Tbs. chili powder
1Tsp. cumin ( I like half seeds and half powder so you get that zing of cumin when you bite into one)
1 can (14.5oz) crushed tomatoes
1& 1/2 C. Water and chicken bullion
1C dried black beans (or if you want to stove top it.. 2 (16oz) cans)
Put all in slow cooker on high for 4 hours.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro.. etc.
I let you know the pressure cooker time when I try that method. Probably soon because this soup is tasty and we still have more carrots lurking I'm sure.
