slow cooker soup recipes...

any one have any (easyish) slow cooker soup recipes? I am going to have a go at tomato soup later, but want to try some other soups in the future. I have some chcken stock on the freeze at the moment, so if anyone can give me a recipe for that I'll be really grateful :beer:

Here's your starter for ten... Chicken stock to soup

Most soup recipes can be made in the slow cooker - so a browse here should provide food for [STRIKE]thought [/STRIKE] the table

Can I ask - why use a slow cooker to make soup? My most prized kitchen possession in the kitchen is my huge Tefal non-stick stockpot, once the vegetables are cleaned and chopped I can make upto 7 litres of delicious soup in a matter of minutes. I know that many people start a slow cooker first thing in the morning so dinner is ready and waiting for them after work but I would always be concerned about an electrical fault developing and the house burning down!

Do you worry about your other electrical appliances, such as Refrigerator, Freezer etc.?

I made spiced carrot and lentil soup in my sc the other day and it was delicious.

Takes 4 hours
Served 4
Easily Doubled

1tsp cumin seeds
pinch chilli flakes
2tbsp olive oil
600g carrots washed and grated, no need to peel
140g red lentils
700ml vegetable stock
125ml milk

Put the cumin seeds, chilli flakes, oil, carrots, lentils and stock in the SC and cook for around 3hrs or until tender.
When the lentils are cooked, add the milk and whizz up the soup with a blender until smooth
Serve

I don't stick to a recipe, just throw in whatever is there.
Start with a couple of handfulls of pearl barley; same again with dried soup mix as a base, then whizz tomatoes; onions; peas whatever is in the freezer, a few herbs and couple stock cubes, anything that may go.
