Most soups and stews can be prepared in a crock pot.  Just decrease
the liquid ingredients (not as much liquid will evaporate from a
closed slow-cooker) and let it rip for 6 or more hours.

Here's some others for you to try:

	Hearty Bean and Vegetable Stew (VEGAN)
	Israeli Wheat Berry Stew (VEGAN)
	Layered Dinner (VEGAN)
	Millet Stew (VEGAN)
	Potato Stuffed Cabbage (OVO)

Oh yes, these are also all very low fat.

       1/2      cup   celery -- diced                                   
       1/2      cup   parsnips -- diced                                 
       1/2      cup   carrots -- diced                                  
       1/2      cup   mushrooms -- diced                                
       1              onion -- diced                                    
       1        tsp   basil, dried                                      
       1        tsp   parsley, dried                                    
       1              bay leaf                                          
       3        clove garlic -- minced                                  
       1        tsp   black pepper -- ground                            
       1        cup   rice or pasta -- cooked                           

    DIRECTIONS  ------------------------------------------------------------

    Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water.                   
                                                                          
    Drain beans and place in crockpot.  Add vegetable juice, wine, soy    
    sauce, and apple or pineapple juice.  Cover with vegetable stock or   
    water; the amount added depends on whether you prefer a soup (more    
    liquid) or a stew (less).  The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and 
    the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.                        
                                                                          
    Cook at high for 2 hours.  Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook
    for 5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender. When      
    tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.           
                                                                          
    NOTES: For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, 
    baby lima, lentil, and green and/or yellow split peas.

    INGREDIENTS ------------------------------------------------------------

       1        head  cabbage                                           
       5        lb    potatoes -- peeled                                
       2              onions                                            
       1/2      cup   rice, raw                                         
       1        tsp   dill, dried                                       
       1/4      tsp   black pepper -- ground                            
       2              egg whites                                        
       1        can   tomatoes (28 oz)                                  
       1              apple -- peeled and sliced
       1/4      tsp   ginger, dried -- ground

    DIRECTIONS  ------------------------------------------------------------

    Parboil cabbage and separate the leaves.  Slice off part of the heavy 
    stalk of each leaf by slicing parallel to the leaf (do not cut into   
    the leaf).                                                            
                                                                          
    Grate potatoes, small inner leaves of cabbage, and one of the onions. 
    Mix together.  Add rice, dill, and black pepper.  Beat egg whites     
    until frothy and add to potato mixture.                               
                                                                          
    Set aside two or three of the largest leaves. Fill each remaining     
    cabbage leaf with approximately 2 Tbsp of the potato mixture.  Fold up
    bottom of leaf, then fold in the sides, and roll up.  Secure with     
    toothpick if necessary.                                               
                                                                          
    Slice the reserved leaves and line the bottom of crock pot with them. 
    Slice second onion and layer on top of cabbage.  Add tomatoes, apple, 
    and ginger.  Place rolled stuffed cabbages into pot.
