Navy Bean Vegetable Soup with Salmon

4 Carrots, sliced
2 Celery Ribs, chopped
1 Medium Onion, chopped
2 cups ready to eat Wild King Smoked Salmon
1 1/2 cups dried Navy Beans
6 cups Vegetable Broth
French Onion Soup (I used one frozen cube purchased at Costco)
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
4 cups Water
1 tsp. Salt

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low 9 hours. Discard bay leaf before serving.

***If you cannot find the frozen individual sized servings of French Onion soup try using the ready to eat cans of the soup instead.  You could also substitute the salmon for vegetarian sausage.  The salmon does add a unique flavor though.  This was a huge hit with my husband and told me it was restaurant quality in taste and flavor!  This is my own recipe so that was a huge ego boost! :)
