Meatless Recipe- Vegetable Rice Slow Cooker Caldo

March 12, 2015 Leave a Comment

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post as a participant in the Walmart Moms Program.meatless recipe- vegetable rice slow cooker caldo

I grew up eating soups/caldos/stews. My Nana was the queen of sopas, so it’s no surprise I enjoy making them for my family. I clearly remember for Lent my grandmother made caldos for our meatless fridays. I loved  I made my family a delicious vegetable rice slow-cooker caldo. Trust me when I say this is one meatless recipe that can’t go wrong!

Let’s make Vegetable Rice Slow Cooker Caldo

The ingredients are simple and can all be found at your local Walmart! I love the produce section at my local Walmart because I can purchase locally grown produce that is guaranteed Fresh! 

My Vegetable Rice recipe can be customized to what you like. Since my kids love zucchini I made sure to add more of it than any other veggies. I also included corn, potatoes, carrots, onion, tomato, and celery. My Nana loved adding chayote and cabbage but I passed on those veggies.  Feel free to make your caldo according to what your family likes!vegetable rice slow-cooker caldo

 

While this is typically a meal cooked on the stove I love being able to set my dinner and walk away!
