Recipe To Warm You On Those Cold Days - Crock Pot Veggie Kielbasa Soup

Tweet

I love to make crock pot foods for my husband to eat. He has to pack a cold lunch and he often takes foods that I have made in the crock pot to keep from having to eat sandwiches all the time. This recip is too hot for me to eat, when I use the red pepper flakes but my husband loves it. So I just omit the red pepper flakes if I am going to be eating it. I have an ulcer and reflux so I have to watch and not eat any spicy food. My Granddaughter even like this and she is only four years old.
