Slow Cooker Pumpkin Soup

This slow cooker pumpkin soup is a lovely blend of fall vegetables. It's a quick easy prep, set and forget soup. Sage and thyme pair nicely with the pumpkin, the carrot adds a touch of sweet, the potatoes add thick creaminess so there is no need for butter or cream, . Leeks elevate the soup with their delicate sweetness and mild taste of onion and the cayenne and creme fraiche round out the soup with a soft and creamy zing.

Ingredients
  

  • 15 ounce canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 cup leeks white parts only, sliced

  • 1 large carrot peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic peeled
  • ½ yellow onion peeled and diced into large pieces
  • ¼ cup fresh sage leaves
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ - ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep your vegetables by washing, peeling and chopping.
  • Then add to your slow cooker the pumpkin puree, leek, potatoes, carrot, garlic cloves, onion, ½ cup loosely packed sage leaves, thyme, nutmeg, cayenne, vegetable stock and salt.
  • Stir to combine and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low 8-10 hours
  • Remove the thyme stems once the vegetables are tender and carefully blend the soup with a stick or immersion blender until smooth. You can also use a regular blender, but use caution since the soup will be very hot. Work in batches until all the contents are smooth and blended.
  • When the soup is smooth and blended, add salt and pepper to taste.
