Slow Cooker Soup
This slow cooker carrot and pumpkin soup is a real Winter winner. It’s low in fat (but full of flavour!), vegetarian and dairy free and so easy to cook using a crock pot. Bon Appétit!
Ingredients:
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 2 fat cloves garlic
* 2 tablespoons oil
* 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped in chunks
* 2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut in chunks
* 4 generous cups pumpkin, cut into chunks
* 3 tablespoons plain flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (I use a hot one)
* 1 pinch ground chilli
* 2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
* nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon
* pepper a good grind
* vegetable stock 3 cups (I use stock made from powder)
* water 1 additional cup
* fresh mint a handful, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large pan heat the oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened. Add the prepared vegetables and the flour and mix as well as you can, allowing the flour to absorb the oniony oil.
2. Put the whole lot into the slow cooker. Add the spices, salt, pepper, stock and water and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
3. When the vegetables are tender, purée or process the soup until smooth and return to the slow cooker to keep warm.
4. Adjust the consistency to suit your personal taste; I like it thick with a little lite sour cream and some chopped mint. It’s also good thinned with a little coconut cream and garnished with coriander.

Yummm! Thanks for that recipe. It looks so delicious in the picture. I think I’ll be trying it out this winter  . I lovvvee winter soups. I’m a huge soup fan. There’s nothing better on a cold, wintry evening than coming home from school or a netball training and settling down with a bowl of hot soup with crusty bread on the side .Posted by ILR "on" 05/23 "at"09:43 PM |
