This is my first post featuring my collaboration with The Book Club Cookbook and their 2020 Blends Bash! In searching for a recipe to combine with my first blends – I wanted to do something that was savory and easy. So I settled on a Slow Cooker dish and then finally (because I’m counting down the days until Season 6 of Schitt’s Creek is released on Netflix) I decided to do something mediterranean.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a vegetarian. I gave up meat a few years ago and honestly, don’t miss it a bit. I’ve discovered some pretty tasty recipes and substitutions for meat so I couldn’t be happier.
This recipe was adapted from Kalyn’sKitchen and her Slow Cooker Vegetarian Greek Lentil Soup with Tomatoes, Spinach and Feta.

*The recipe I adapted this from suggested adding in an additional 1 – 2 cups of water but I love a good thick soup so I didn’t add the water at the end.
So, that is the recipe! All credit goes towards Kalyn’s Kitchen! I love the recipe and I hope you give it a try too.
