A Warm Meal for a Cold Day

In my cleaning and sorting recently, I found a recipe I saved from many years ago. It is the perfect warm, hearty meal for a cold winter day. It is a recipe that uses wheat that doesn't have to be ground even. First I took 3 cups of wheat from our food storage.

I soaked it in water overnight.

I added it to the crockpot with the other ingredients and let it simmer during the day.
