Autumn Root Soup

Every fall I make this soup called Autumn Root Soup.  We look forward to this creamy vegetable soup and serve it up with some baked chicken.  What I love about this recipe is that you can bend the recipe - add more, change it up, etc.

Ingredients

  • 3 cans chicken broth
  • 1 small leek
  • 1 celery root
  • 1 cup carrots peeled & sliced – I use baby carrots
  • 1 celery stock – sliced
  • 1 baking potato
  • 1 cup 1/2 and 1/2
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash of white pepper optional

Instructions

  • Cut up your vegetables.
  • Place chicken broth, leeks, and veggies into slow cooker.
  • Cook on low all day (8 hours or until veggies are tender).
  • When the veggies are tender – use your wand blender or regular blender to puree the veggies into the soup.
  • It should be nice and smooth after blending and if your veggies happen to be a little crunchy still – give them a little more time to cook.  They’ll cook faster the smaller they are.
  • Add your 1/2 & 1/2 and sour cream.  You can either blend it or stir it in.
  • Serve and enjoy!  We usually serve it with some baked chicken.

Notes

You can add any additional veggies you like – I have added turnips, parsnips, etc.
Can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
