I just don’t get the point of using the crockpot or calling it a ‘crockpot’ recipe, when you have to do stuff in a pan first, to me that defeats the whole purpose of crockpot cooking! But to each his own! Crock on!!

June 27, 2017 at 11:08 amHey Holly! By sauteing a few of the ingredients first you get a superior soup. You can totally just toss everything in and call it a day. But it really brings out some of the flavors and gives a better texture to toss it in the skillet for a minute first.
Have a great day!
