Yummy soup in this chilly weather

It's cold and the only thing that gets me over that is a hearty yummy soup.  I have used the crockpot so much already this year, that I had to run to Bed Bath and Beyond in a hurry because I thought it went out on me.  But of course as soon as I came home with a new one, it worked again.  I already had the food in there so that was good.  And I should post that recipe, as it was chicken dumplings and it was gooooooodddd!

My winnings from the DS farmers market.  A lady from my MOPS makes this jam and it is delightful.   Lavender berry, yum.
