Instructions: Soak soy beans and mushrooms ahead. Chop 1/3 of the large or 2/3 of the medium onion and 1/3 third of the green pepper. Smash and chop the garlic. Heat oil, in your crock pot if it can take it, or in a small frying pan and saute the chopped vegetables until lightly browned. If you used your crock pot, push the sauteed vegetable aside and start layering. Put potatos and carrots on the bottom then soy beans then other vegetables. Add seasonings, sauteed vegetables if not already in, soup powders and liquids. Pour the mushroom liquid carefully so you dont get the sandy sediment from the bottom. Put in eggs if using.

Liquid will not come to the top of the vegetables, but dont worry, extra liquid will be produced during the cooking. If your crock pot can take it, bring to a boil before setting the pot to cook overnight. Seal the cover (I used aluminum foil) and set on a low heat an hour or so before Shabbat comes in. On my West Bend I use setting 2, out of 5.
