"Everything that's about to go bad in the fridge" Crockpot Soup

You know when you have all those random foods left in the fridge? And hate to throw them out, but there is really no use for them because they're about to go bad...? Well, I decided that every time I say that to myself.. That I'm going to make a good ole hearty crockpot soup with those ingredients! I've done this once before a few months ago and it turned out awesome! Plus, it definitely beats throwing all that food away.. I mean seriously.. That's a lot of money you'd be throwing out in the trash! 

So today, I had that thought in my mind, and decided to make something yummy instead of wasting it all!  I put some chicken broth (that I had in the cupboard) in the crockpot and just started chopping up all the food that had been in the fridge for awhile (the kind that is still edible... Just to that point where it starts to get a little soft). 

We have some chicken pieces, summer squash, yellow & orange peppers, celery, onion & carrots in this one! 


Did I mention that this is a HEALTHY soup?? It's made of mainly vegetables & a little broth!! (I threw in tiny bit of leftover chicken).  It's no secret that I struggle with my vegetable intake. So I've found that this is a great way to sneaks loads of  veggies into my family's meals for the week! Plus, the best part is that you can freeze the leftovers in portioned out containers & have it for lunch throughout the week!
