With a soothing, flavor-packed broth made in the slow cooker, this vegetarian soup is the one to reach for when you need something restorative. Make a big batch and enjoy over the course of the week — or put some in the freezer as a gift to future you. Soba noodles help make it hearty, but a big handful of spinach makes it even more nourishing.

3. Low-Carb Lasagna from Well Plated

Lasagna has never been easier or faster than with this slow cooker recipe. This cheesy veggie-packed Italian specialty relies on big planks of eggplant for the base and tastes just as good as classic lasagna, minus the noodles. It’s so good even Garfield would approve.
