Why
this recipe works
If you like SPAM, you have to take a look at this soup recipe from SPAM Easy Slow Cooker. To do so, all you need is a well-stocked pantry and SPAM!
With the cold winter weather here, icy and scary roads mean staying home and doing what’s at hand.
That’s why you should stock up on your favorite canned goods like vegetables and tomatoes to make this SPAM soup recipe easy.
This SPAM slow cooker soup is great when you’re too busy to go to the store, but still want a healthy and delicious meal for your family.
With all that in mind, I’ve created this easy vegetable soup and SPAM recipe using some of my favorite canned goods like diced tomatoes with green chili peppers and tomatoes, okra and corn.
How to make Easy Slow
Cooker SPAM Soup
Slow Cooker Vegetable & SPAM Soup is perfect to get going in the morning right after breakfast
.
1. First, open all the cans. This type of can opener makes it easy, especially if you don’t want another countertop appliance.
2. Cut a can of your favorite SPAM flavor. (I like SPAM lite.)
3. Line your slow cooker
with a slow cooker liner for easy cleaning.
4. Pour all the ingredients into your clay pot, cover it and turn it on low for 8 hours. (Or high for 4 hours if you started this later in the day.)
At dinner time, you have a hearty and healthy SPAM soup waiting for you in your slow cooker.
You can also make this SPAM soup on a gas stove or on your grill if there is no electricity during bad weather.
Why We Love SPAM for Soup Recipes
After going to Hawaii a few years ago, my husband and I fell in love with SPAM masubi
.
It’s the Hawaiian version of a quick snack. You can buy them at gas stations, golf courses and at the beach snack bar.
It consists of a slice of grilled SPAM on top of a block of sushi rice, which is then wrapped in dried nori seaweed. That’s great, I swear!
Since our journey, we always add SPAM lite to gluten-free eggs, ramen, stir-fries or noodles.
The beauty of a well-stocked cantry
I find that having a well-stocked cantry helps me put more home-cooked meals on the table.
I rely on canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and canned pumpkin as the basis of many of my recipes like 7 Can Taco Soup, which can be made in a slow cooker or on the stove.
I feel good about using canned vegetables and beans. You see, the canning process blocks the freshness, flavor, and nutrients of food at peak maturity right after harvesting.
Also, according to a study from the University of California, Davis, many canned fruits and vegetables have the same nutrients as their fresh or frozen counterparts. Therefore, you should feel good about using canned food.
Keep an eye on sales at your local supermarket. Stock up on SPAM and other canned goods for your next batch of Easy Slow Cooker SPAM Soup.
