Slow cooker courgette/marrow soup

I adapted this recipe from a slow cooker book to use up the inevitable glut of courgettes from my little plot. I have frozen some of it before adding the milk and cornflour and kale which I intend to thaw and finish final steps of the soup at later date.

Simple Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup Simple Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup
I used to use this recipe for the stovetop and now I use it for the slow cooker. You can use fresh vegetables, which I prefer, but if you are short on time then frozen is just as good. You can serve it with cubed chicken ,cooked noodles, rice, pasta, matzo ball, etc. Or just as is. #mycookbookEnjoy! J.A.B. -
Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup
My wife and I love Split Pea Soup. The weird thing is that I hate peas by themselves. I will systematically remove them from anything that has them. We took an old recipe that she has had for a while and converted it to the slow cooker.After a few tries and tweaks, we have worked out all the kinks and made a great soup. It is so good and it will thicken as time passes. It goes great with some rolls to dip into it. One of the best split pea soups that I have ever had. I am sure that this can be made into a vegan dish, by taking out the ham and replacing the chicken stock with vegetable. Worth the try.This is the prototypical slow cooker recipe. You just put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker, set the time, and forget about it for 8 hours. You can try to forget about it, but the smell will drive you crazy those 8 long hours. Be strong, the wait will be worth it.Enjoy! J.A.B. -

Slow Cooker Carrot Ginger Soup Slow Cooker Carrot Ginger Soup
I have said it once and I will say it again and again and again. Soups and sauces are made for the slow cooker. They are a perfect marriage.A few years back, I tried carrot ginger soup. I liked it so much, that my mouth slapped me in the face. It was wondering why we never had it before that day. The soup is that good.I love carrots and ginger. Sadly, I can only find this soup at one restaurant. The owners are not so nice, so I set out to make up a recipe for this soup. I mixed up a few online recipes, added a few personal items and voila! I came up with this recipe.Accidentally, my wife and I found out that the soup can be eaten cold. It will be great during the summer. Plus, it is made in the slow cooker, so your house will not heat up.Enjoy! J.A.B. -

Slow Cooker Tomato Soup Slow Cooker Tomato Soup
Grilled cheese and tomato soup? A match made in heaven. A couple of months ago, we found out that our son loves tomato soup. Granted, it came from a can, but he still loved it.I decided to take my stovetop recipe and make it in the slow cooker. To me, the slow cooker was made for soups and sauces. When my son tried my soup, he devoured it. He likes to eat, but he is picky about what he eats. If that makes sense.I love carrots, so I add it to the soup. Gives it more of a nutritious punch. Add the cream, milk, or as I do, coconut milk at the end; when you blend it all together. It gives it a nicer texture.Eat this with grilled cheese, a quesadilla, goldfish, crackers, etc.Enjoy!

Easy veggie soup Easy veggie soup
Girlfriend wasn't feeling great so she requested soup. This is what I made her because this is what we had in the house. The soup is vegetarian but not vegan because I thickened it with a butter roux but you can use vegan butter, a corn starch slurry, arrowroot, etc., if you prefer. Jon -
