Made this classic recipe for a demostration in a grocery store and it was awesome! People were really impressed when I told them I spent under $8 to make the entire crockpot of soup! Obviously the cooking time takes much longer in a crock-pot so if you plan on cooking it that way, plan on the entire day!

I added the suggested 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and also 1/4 teaspoon of dried Oregano to my soup, and served it with whole grain toast. Yum!
