This high protein slow cooker soup recipe is a great meal.

One of my greatest passions, which I have not often spoken about on the blog is budgeting, saving money and being frugal. I love a good bargain and I love to save money and find ways to make do. I guess I learnt this from my mum who is the queen of budgeting and through my experiences as a student, young married and then single mother.

Sharing This Slow Cooker Soup

I’m hoping to share more ideas here on The Inspiration Edit to share how you can get by and budget on a low or modest income.

So, today I’m sharing a favourite recipe of mine which I created myself. I was shown how to make soup back in New Zealand as a teenager but this is my own recipe which I invented and turned out pretty tasty.

High Protein Slow Cooker Soup On A Budget

Slow Cooker Soup Recipe

  • Carrots, Peppers and Onion
  • 1 cup of barley, lentils and split peas
  • 2 large sliced potatoes
  • 2 cubes of vegetable stock
  • Chicken Breasts
  • 2 Litres of water
  • Chicken Stock

How To Cook Slow Cooker Soup

Now as this is a slow cooker recipe, it can take around 3 hours to cook completely. I simply chop up the veg, slice the potato and chuck it all in the crock pot with the pulses and stock and turn on auto cook.

If I’m preparing the night before, I may cook everything except the chicken and then add the chicken two hours before dinner- which is enough time for the chicken to be ready. Or if you have time to prepare the meal and put it on before eating you can cook it all at once.

Add Vegetables To Your High Protein Soup

You can also add alternative veg, and use whatever you need to use up in the home. You could add chickpeas or kidney beans, celery or swede. We often just use what we can find marked down at the supermarket which makes a tasty and yummy soup but also saves on the purse.

This is also a great Bariatric meal for those who have had gastric bypass surgery full of protein and goodness.

    Oh my gosh,
    This looks so amazing.
    I’m vegan & I don’t think many of the bits require slow cooking. I should really look into it!

      You can slow cook but you could also cook in a pan but slow cooking is best for us and with my health as I don’t have to worry about standing up for too long over the cooker and keep checking for it bubbling over etc. Also we can then reheat as well etc but yes you could make it in a pan potentially but not as much.

    Ooh this looks lovely for winter time. Ive never really thought about cooking on a budget specifically because a lot of the time theres just me to cook for so Im always batch cooking and freezing but cheaper to make meals that I prepare are things like bolognese and chilli xxx

      It’s great to be able to batch cook and freeze too! That is always useful! Thanks for your comment Laura.

      It sure is. The weather is getting cold to be honest and we really need hearty and nutritious food to get us through.
