Crockery Potato Chicken Soup

Eating habits and cooking styles have become more and more the interesting topics. The simple reasons are health concerns and busy lifestyles. Many working woman feel that they do not have time to make healthy dinners for their family. Eating in the car or selecting food from a takeout menu does not constitute a healthy eating habit. So, again a slow cooker comes to the rescue. Surprisingly, a slow cooker's recipes are very good. Breakfast can be served in the morning and also dinner will be ready when returning home. Making healthier meals this way will save quite a lot of money. Whether cooking for one, two, or a large family, choosing the correct size slow cooker will deliver a very consistent flavor of meat, seafood, potatoes, or beans. A slow cooker is best used to make stew and hearty soup. Practicing making meals with a slow cooker will fear of preparing meals with not so much available time. Best of all, dinner is always piping hot and simmered to perfection.

2 cups roasted chicken (left over from dinner)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup Swiss cheese or any other kind (optional)

Directions:

Season more with salt, if needed. Spoon the hot soup into a serving bowl and top with cheese, if using, and serve.
