Slow Cooker Carrot Soup

If you saw my recipe for Slow Cooker Vegetarian Minestrone Soup then you know how much I like to use a slow cooker for making soup. I mean, slow cooking anything is both easy and convenient in so many ways if you ask me.

This soup is especially nice for those moments when you want something warm yet, with a healthy twist to it.
However, you could be someone who needs a change from the usual broth soups such as chicken noodle. This soup is perfect for vegan and vegetarian diets as well.

You may be wondering what is the best slow cooker.

To be honest, there are a lot of great choices of slow cookers to choose from. Possibly the most famous brands of slow cookers is the crock pot brand. Crock pot has many choices of slow cookers from your inexpensive basic, yet dependable, slow cooker to your programmable one.

Sometimes you need a basic slow cooker to get the job done and other times you need one appliance that does more than one thing.
Personally, I like having options even if the option of choice at the moment is the basic on. However, sometimes I really can appreciate the need for one pot that does many things such as one of these multi cookers.

This recipe is just one more thing that you can do with baby carrots.

However, any kind of carrot will do as we are going to chop them up anyway. As long as your carrots are peeled or scrubbed and have the tops removed, you should be good with this recipe.

I should also mention just how healthy carrots are.
Sure carrots are yummy and sweet in their own way however, they are also a healthy vegetable. Carrots low in calories yet high in vitamin A. I should also mention here that carrots are a source of fiber, protein, potassium, and folate.

1. Roasting your garlic before adding it to the slow cooker will give your soup a more roasted taste to it.
2. Even though this recipe is a great way to use up some older carrots, if you use a sweeter or more fresh carrot you can get a better taste.
3. You can easily freeze this soup for enjoying later. Simply allow it to cool and then transfer it to freezer bags or containers.

Chicken soup broth is called for in this recipe. However, you can easily sub in a vegan or vegetarian broth instead.

Make this soup an thicker and more hearty soup.

I get that sometimes you need a heartier soup especially if your soup is your meal. You can make this soup hearty by subbing in Greek Yogurt or coconut milk for some of the broth.
