Crockpot Cream of Amazing Vegetable Soup
Easy, Delicious Dairy Free Cream Of Vegetable Soup
Amazing Vegetable Soup Recipe from Shelley Seidman, FB Fan
Easy dairy free cream of vegetable soup recipe tastes amazingly good, and it's also an amazingly easy crockpot soup recipe. It combines yukon gold potato, leek, shallot, garlic, fresh herbs and fresh corn.
Cooking Tips: If you can't get fresh herbs, yukon gold potatoes, shallots, celery root or fresh corn, just omit and substitute. Shallots were very expensive, so I used 2 leeks. Shelley says there must be a thousand possible variations for her cream of vegetable soup, and it will still be amazing!
