SLOW COOKER LENTIL VEGETABLE SOUP

We have a regular Monday night get together for dinner with friends. I try to make a different soup as a starter every week. Sometimes I follow a recipe & others I just sort of throw whatever appeals in the pot. This was last nights soup & it was one of the throw things together. We all agreed that this is a make again soup. I made this in a 1.5 litre slowcooker. It will serve 8 as a starter, 4 as a main course. I used a combination of portabello & white mushrooms, as that is what I had in the fridge. You could add some cooked diced chicken during the last hour of cooking if you wanted to.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables that will hold their shape and texture well in the slow cooker, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Leave enough space for the vegetables to cook evenly.
  • Add enough liquid: The vegetables should be covered with liquid, but not swimming in it.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the soup on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The longer the soup cooks, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the soup hot: Garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
