Slow Cooker Italian White Bean Soup

January 8, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Sometimes, in the bleak days of winter, when the holidays are over and real life comes crashing back in, it is nice to have a moment of simple comfort.

Fresh, in season corn is simply magnificent. I buy bags and bags of it at the farmers market, much of which I eat straight from the cob, some I cut off and freeze and of course, I adore corn pudding, like my fantastic Caramelized Corn Pudding.

At the end of summer, when the larger slicing tomatoes are beginning to fade, I still seem to find small varieties of cherry and grape tomatoes hanging around the farmers market.

I’m always looking for simple, fresh meals in summer and shrimp is a real go to for me. I buy it peeled and deveined and ready to go, and it cooks so quickly without heating up the kitchen.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
