Dude Ranch Soup and "Corn" Bread

This is a great meal for a cold night, or just when you don't have a lot of time. You basically throw everything into the crock pot, and let it do the cooking for you.The "corn" bread takes just 2 min in the microwave, and is very easy to make.

I was able to find this low carb version of corn bread on Food.com. The soup recipe also comes from a great book called "The Everyday Low Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook" by Kitty Broihier and Kimberly Mayone. I highly recommend it.
