Spicy 🍅Tomato Bisque slow 🐌 cooker soup

Another Slow 🐌 sleepy 😴 Sunday. I decided to make a hearty soup 🍲 that I could take my time adding ingredients to and not have to babysit a pot .

I researched a few recipes online and picked and chose which ingredients I wanted to add in my soup.

I selected the following ingredients:

Very ripe tomatoes on my counter

Olive oil

Canned whole tomatoes 

Red onion

Celery

Basil

Minced garlic

Salt 

Pepper 🌶 

🍋 Lemon pepper

Paprika

Cayenne pepper

Chicken stock

Jasmine rice 🍚 😋 😍 

Sugar
