Slow Cooker Tomato Soup
Description
This tomato soup combines chopped canned tomatoes with sweet potato, carrots, celery, diced onion, garlic, tomato puree, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and vegetable stock. These ingredients are mixed in a slow cooker and cooked on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften thoroughly.
After cooking, the soup is blended with an immersion blender to the desired consistency, typically smooth. The addition of crème fraîche at the end contributes a subtle creaminess and balances acidity.
The soup’s sweetness is balanced by the natural sugars in the root vegetables and optional additions like a pinch of sugar or chili flakes for heat. Blending options allow for textures ranging from fully smooth to partially chunky depending on preference.
Practical notes include cutting vegetables evenly for consistent cooking and avoiding using jug blenders with hot liquids due to safety concerns.
