Cuddle-Up Soup

I have been trying to empty out the refrigerator and cabinets.  Everything must go.  Before I make a trip to Whole Foods in the next coming month I want my kitchen to be mostly bare except maybe for the ketchup and mustard in the fridge.  I want to be able to stock up on foods which will last me a certain amount of time and then I can stock up again.  I hate going to the store when I still have food in the house.

I had a bunch of leftover vegetables from my roasted veggies a few weeks ago and some vegetable broth so I threw everything I had in a crock pot and called it a day.  

Ingredients:

• Carrots
• broccoli
• 1 zucchini
• 2 sweet potatoes
• onion
• brussel sprouts
• squash
• 1 t garlic paste
• 1 t parsley
• 1 can tomato soup
• 3 cans vegetable broth

Method:

The method is pretty simple.  I diced all the vegetables I had on hand and added as much as each as I wanted to the crock pot.  If you have different vegetables or want to add or subtract anything then be my guest.  You can't go wrong with this soup.  I left this alone on low from 11:30-6:30 and it was perfect.

At the end I added shredded mozzarella cheese and light sour cream.  It was out of this world.  It reminded me of a soup that you would cuddle up on the couch with a blanket and a book on a rainy or snowy day.

I did halve these brussel sprouts to make them into bite size pieces.

I am pretty sure this was not a squash but any type of fall vegetable will work for this recipe.

This was before I added the tomato soup.  You don't have to add the tomato soup but my mom insisted it would make it better.  I added the soup at the end but you can add it at the beginning.

It really is a beautiful soup.  Perfect for a Fall day.
