Tips:

  • Prep your vegetables in advance: Cut, dice, and chop your vegetables before you start cooking to save time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your soup will be. Try to include a mix of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure to leave enough space in the slow cooker for the vegetables to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
  • Season your soup well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs to flavor your soup. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for vegetable soup include croutons, cheese, sour cream, and fresh herbs.
