Anyhoo, I decided to be a little organised and make lunch early so after breakfast I made Roasted Autumn Vegetable soup in the slow cooker - want to know more?
Yes you read it right - roasted vegetables in a slow cooker - and it was soooo tasty. I had planned on having enough to either save for another lunch or to go into the freezer.... Himself scoffed all (bar my bowlful)!!
Turn your slow cooker on to hot, add a gloop of oil
- 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
- 1 largeish potato also coarsely chopped
- Half a large sweet potato (yes you guessed) coarsely chopped
- Two large carrots peeled and ... chopped
Chuck all the chopped vegetables into the now warming slow cooker and season well.
- Salt and pepper
- Small pinch chilli flakes
Stir to coat everything with the oil and seasoning, place lid and leave. I left for about half an hour, stirring a couple of times ... then...
- boil the kettle and cover the cooking vegetables with hot water
- I added a vegetable stock cube at this point - I grated it directly into the hot water and stirred well.
Replace the lid and allow to cook until all the vegetables are tender.
I then blitzed it and added a little more hot water as it was rather thick, stirred well and served with hunks of bread.
Simples.
Oh my word it worked and was really tasty - go me! The house filled with such a warming scent during cooking that Himself kept coming in to investigate. I will certainly make it again - super simple and super yum xx
Have a lovely weekend

We spent the day at a craft fair with our craft stall. It was an early start … to get a lamb tagine in the slow cooker for when we got back, make a nice healthy lunch to take with us and packing the car. We weren’t really in the mood for it but ended up having a really good day. We were so glad of the slow cooker dinner as we were both shattered by the time we got back 😃
