This is one of the easiest soups to make and if you love vegetarian soups then you are going to love this one.  There is hardly any preparation and you get a great soup every time.  Cooking this soup in the crock pot helps you from overcooking the carrots and in my opinion you get a better result.

Here is the recipe:carrot vegetarian soup

Vegetarian Carrot Soup

500g fresh carrot, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1.25 liters (42 oz) of vegetable stock
1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
-------
1 tsp lemon juice
Cream or yogurt for serving
extra chopped tarragon for garnish

Combine the first 5 ingredients in your crock pot and cook on high for 3 hours.  Check to see the carrots are cooked and if not, then cook another 1/2 to 1 hour.  Some crock pots cook faster than others so this is why I suggest this.

Strain the liquid into a large jug and puree the carrot mixture.  Add back the liquid a little at a time until you get a texture you like.  Add the lemon juice and stir through.  Serve with a tablespoon of cream or yogurt (I like the yogurt taste) with some extra tarragon for garnish and serve with toast, crusty bread or crackers.

If you use the skim milk yogurt this is a no fat recipe perfect for my diet right now.  This makes a great crock pot meal for lunches during the week.
