CROCK POT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• 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.

Add the tomato paste and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the potatoes and parsley. Bring to a boil, leave uncovered, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer for another hour.
• Remove fresh herbs (that is why we keep them on the stems!) Pour into bowls and serve with fresh parsley!
• *I find using a food processor saves time and effort when chopping the veggies. I also used napa cabbage because the taste is very subtle compared to regular cabbage, so do not exchange the two.
