Vegetarian Stew in Bread Bowls image

Shortly before we had our third child, my husband wisely got our first slow cooker. This was the first recipe I tried on a cool day. It felt great to both take care of the kids and eat a warm, homemade meal at the end of the day. -Maria Keller, Antioch, Illinois
