Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 8-10 baby carrots (or 2-3 regular size), chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids & Seasoning
- 32 oz. vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: Peel and roughly chop the russet and sweet potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves for even cooking and flavor infusion.
- Combine in crockpot: Place the chopped potatoes, onion, garlic, and baby carrots into the crockpot. Pour in 32 oz. of vegetable stock, ensuring ingredients are submerged.
- Cook low and slow: Set the crockpot to the low setting and cook for 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
- Add seasonings and blend: After cooking, add the nutritional yeast and cayenne pepper to the crockpot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the crockpot until it achieves a silky smooth texture.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed, noting that sodium content may vary based on the stock used. Serve warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use an immersion blender for easy blending directly in the crockpot without transferring hot soup.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
- Store-bought vegetable stock sodium levels vary; season salt accordingly after tasting.
- This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
