Slow Cooker Cream Of Vegetable Soup

This Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup is a fantastic ‘dump recipe’ – one of those favourites where you can stick all the ingredients in together and let the slow cooker do the rest. Out comes delicious, hearty, healthy soup after just a few hours. Get all the ingredients prepped and put in a dump bag, then get as many portions in the freezer as you have room for, ready to cook another day when you’re short on time. It’s also a great one for batch cooking. Freeze the portions once cooked (instructions below).

Why you’ll love this Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup recipe

⭐️ Creamy, warming, delicious ⭐️ A brilliant way to use up vegetables pas their best ⭐️ Low cost ingredients OK, you can’t make this recipe quickly like you could in a soup maker, but I prefer the convenience of prepping earlier in the day while leaving a dish to do its thing, and then be ready when you need it. Perfect for those days you know you’ll be out in the cold and want something hot and hearty to come home to! The beauty of this soup recipe is that it’s so versatile – you can add any veggies you have lying around that need using up, which adds extra flavour and reduces waste too.

Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup Ingredients

Onion Celery Carrots Parsnips Leeks Stock cubes – Or powder. I like Marigold brand. Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper – Season well! Single cream – Larger supermarkets sell a pot this size so you won’t waste any. Parsley – It’s worth buying fresh parsley for this recipe as it makes a big difference

It’s worth noting here that this is a great way to use up vegetables past their best. If they are a little soft or wonky, it won’t make any difference to the finished soup.

Substitutions

Vegetables – Swap any vegetables or add different ones depending on what you have in your fridge to use up!

In the freezer This recipe freezes well. Just wait until it’s totally cold and then put into a freezer proof container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thoroughly before reheating in the microwave or on the hob. Depth of flavour: Cooking ingredients long and slow can create a delicious depth of flavour. This soup recipe is a good example of one such dish. So is my French Onion Slow Cooker Soup. Convenience: There is just something so lifesaving about being able to put everything in and know a meal is going to be ready later, when time might be tighter. Yes it requires a bit of thinking ahead, but the rewards are great. Less mess: I find that a quick scurry around to get everything in the slow cooker earlier in the day makes a huge difference how messy the kitchen gets if cooking is happening in real time later on. And if it’s a dump bag recipe from the freezer? You’d barely know anything had happened at all!
