I have not tried this ....

You may serve a portion or two, and keep replenishing the broth and ingredients. Somehow, it stays good. Or — that's the goal.

Those links are both great! The video is pretty feel-good and seems like a fun community-building event. From the NPR article, I especially liked seeing this:

On low, the crock pot uses about 125 watts, which for a month costs about $20

That's pretty cheap, though I've always done it by reheating each day.
