Slow Cooker Lentil and Pea Vegetable Soup

Great for winter to warm up your hungry tummy! It takes little effort, all I had to chop were the potatoes and green pepper; I bought the carrots and lettuce prepackaged and ready to go! This is perfect if you're going to have a busy day, prepare it in the morning and the soup will be ready to serve by the time you come home.
