We like to make crockpot soups. Saw some prepackaged veggies for caldo in our local store, and decided we could do better.
Fried up some salt pork and dropped into the crockpot, then added:
1/4 green cabbage, chopped
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 celery stalk with top leaves, thinly sliced
3 small red potatoes, diced
1 corn on the cob, cut into thirds
1 can Rotel (tomatoes with chilis)
Chicken stock until it looked right
2 bay leaves
Cooked on high 6 hours or so, then added minced garlic and cooked another 30 minutes.
You can play with the seasonings to your own taste.
