I love soups and when I am watching my weight they keep me feeling satisfied longer than other meals.  A hot bowl of soup is one of my favorite lunches and also for Sunday night dinners.  With a crock pot you too can be a soup expert.

The base of every great soup is a good meat or vegetable stock.  Also use the best ingredients you can for your soups, and if you can make your own stock with fresh ingredients.

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:

Vegetarian Carrot Soup

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.
