Pumpkin Soup Slow Cooked Recipe !
Ingredients:
2.1kg pumpkin
3 carrots
1 onion
1 sweet potato
5 potatoes
3 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons minced garlic
ground black pepper
Directions:
I roasted the veges to bring out their flavor, then added to the slow cooker with 3 cups of chicken stock & 2 teaspoons minced garlic for 4 hours on low. Very easy to mix with the stick blender as the veges are so soft.
I serve with a dollop of sour cream & crusty bread.
