3 day yom tov soup

When there's a 3 day Yom Tov and you want cholent on Shabbos you have to keep your crock pot on for 3 days. If you use the crock pot liners, you can prepare most of the cholent before Yom Tov and store it in the refrigerator.

For Yom Tov you can use the crock pot for soup for lunch. Manischewitz (and other brands) have tubes of soup. We like the split pea.

I cut up potatoes and carrots and add an onion and some meat. (Usually about a pound of beef cubes.) Though the instructions call for 5 cups of water per tube, add an extra cup of water to account for evaporation. Although it's probably not necessary I'd stir the mixture once or twice. By the first day lunch you have really delicious, filling soup as an appetizer. (After the first day I refrigerated the crock pot, because I couldn't replace in the cooker until night.)

We actually used two tubes last week and had soup both lunches. And then afterwards on Friday, I took the bag with the soup out and put in the cholent bag. (Of course, that assumes you made an Eruv Tavshillin.)
