Equipment

  • Crock pot

Ingredients
  

  • 3 28 oz cans whole tomatoes, low sodium
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 2 cups finely chopped sweet onion
  • 32 oz 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 4 cloves
  • ¼ cup packed basil leaves, additional for garnish
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, white if you have it
  • Parmesan Cheese shredded, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients in a large Crock Pot or slow cooker
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours
  • When finely chopped veggies are very soft and cooked through the soup is done
  • Finish soup with an immersion blender or put in small batches in the regular blender
  • Garnish with additional basil and parmesan

Notes

  • You can make the soup creamier by adding sour cream or plain Greek yogurt at the end as a garnish or blend in well with entire batch. This makes a big batch and freezes well.
  • Allow the soup to cool before ladling it into freezer-safe containers or freezer bags, just make sure you don't add any dairy before freezing it. Soup can be frozen for 4-6 months, and then thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender a regular blender will work well too. Just blend in batches and be careful with the hot liquid.
