Chicken and White Bean Soup (Slow Cooker Recipe)

My favorite pastime is eating and my least favorite is studying for my final. So instead of studying genomics, I went grocery shopping, and bought a hodge podge of things. Surprisingly, my random assortment of ingredients turned out well, and I have premade dinners for at least a week. Why buy frozen meals when you can make them?

So this is literally the result of me looking at what I bought and what I had lying around in my kitchen. Since I do actually have to study, I decided to use the ol' trusty crock pot. Oh how I love thee.

It may be starting to get warm inside, but soup is for all seasons.

PS: Throw in some hot sauce and really get things going.
