How to make an easy Frugal Vegetarian Soup

I know I post a lot of soup recipes but it's because I really like soups.  They fill me up for longer than other meals so they are an excellent choice when I am watching my weight.  I like vegetarian soup especially as it is quick to make and inexpensive too.  The following recipe is also easy to make and you can adjust it to whatever vegetables you have at hand, within reason, to get a good result and a tasty vegetarian  soup.

Frugal Vegetarian Soup

Cut the vegetables into small pieces, slice the onion and place them  in the crock pot.  Pour over the stock until the vegetables are covered.  Cook on high for 3 hours.  The larger the pieces the longer it will take to cook.  Remember though that sweet potato and pumpkin take less time than potato to cook in the crock pot so cut them into slightly larger pieces.

Take  half the liquid out of the crock pot and put aside.  Allow the soup to cool a little while then puree the contents and add back the liquid, a little at a time,  to get a good consistency.  This should be thick but not too thick, if you know what I mean.  Serve with fresh bread or toast and this recipe can also be used as a quick entree.  I like to add the curry for a different taste and I take it to work for lunch if there is any leftovers. Serves around 4 - 6 depending on how much vegetables and stock you use.

So, you now have another successful and easy crock pot meal and at a very low cost.  Frugal cooking doesn't have to mean tasteless cooking.
