Crock Pot Vegetable Soup Recipes

CROCK POT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat the one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium high heat.
• Add the onion and cook till nearly translucent.
• Now add the garlic. Don't let the garlic brown and saute another couple of minutes.
• Add the rest of the chopped veggies, sauteing for just a minute or two; the extra tablespoon of olive oil is if you need it for the rest of the veggies. Remember--you're not cooking them-- just sauteing them for the wonderful flavor this quick step will infuse in your soup.
• Add the thyme and salt and pepper while sauteing.
• Now put the veggies in the crock pot, add the tomatoes and broth.
• Cook on low 7-9 hours (depending on your crock pot) or high 4-6 hours.
• Just before serving, gently mash some of the potato chunks against the side of the crock pot to thicken the soup, give it a stir and serve.
• SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Grilled cheese sandwiches on whole grain bread and a spinach salad.
• Quick Fixes for Variations on the Basic Veggie Soup: Now remember, don't do these to the whole pot of soup! Just the little bit you pull out to fix yourself for lunch, etc. so that you can do all the Quick Fixes.
• Quick Fix #1: Tex Mex Veggie Soup. Add some (eyeball it--how much do you want?) canned black beans (drained and rinsed), a little bit of cumin and chopped cilantro. Top with some tortilla chips and cheese, or serve with a quesadilla.
• Quick Fix #2: Tuscan Veggie Soup. Add some (eyeball it again) canned cannellini (white kidney beans) or white beans (drained and rinse), a little bit of Italian seasoning and some chopped kale. Cook till heated through and the kale is tender.
• Quick Fix #3: Minestrone Veggie Soup. Add some cooked pasta, a little dried basil and top with a fresh grating of Parmesan cheese.
• Quick Fix #4: Autumn Veggie Soup. Add some diced acorn squash or butternut squash, a handful of cooked brown rice, a sprinkling of nutmeg and some chopped parsley.

EASY HOMEMADE CROCKPOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine everything, up to the garlic, in a large slow cooker (mine is 7 quarts) seasoning with 1 tsp of salt.
• Cut the tip off the garlic head, to expose the tips. Rub with exposed tips with the oil. Wrap the garlic tightly in tinfoil and place into the center of the soup.
• Cook on HIGH until the vegetables are fork-tender - this took 3 hours in my slow cooker. It could take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on how hot your slow cooker runs.
• Stir in the spinach and parsley and cook on LOW for another 30 mins - 1 hour, or until the spinach is wilted.
• Remove the garlic packet from the soup. Squeeze out the softened cloves and dice them. Stir as much as you'd like into the soup - adjusting to taste as you add. Additionally, add the additional salt if needed (I think it needs it!)
• DEVOUR!
