Creamy Vegetable Soup

This photo is from another soup.  I forgot to take one after it was blended.  The second photo is a true one.  This looks just like it though.
My husband is having difficulty swallowing and is on a creamy liquid diet.  I have been playing around with different foods.  The easiest is soup, any kind, due to the wonderful immersion blender.  I use it for many foods but I use it the most in soups to thicken them or smooth them out.  This time, I used some of our basic veggies to make this soup.  Usually, I go to spinach or broccoli or butternut squash.  This is what we had in the "olden days."

Creamy Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

6 carrots, peeled, 1/2-inch chunks

1 large onion, quartered
2 celery stalks, 1/2-inch chunks


1 zucchini, chunked

3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes chunked
3 cups vegetable stock

2 cups water

1 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt to taste

pepper to taste

spices of choice that you like to add to soup


Method:



Pour liquid into crock pot.

 Add carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.


Cook 2 hours.


 Add basil.


Using immersion blender and blend to creaminess you desire.  If you want a few chunks left, remove before blending and add them back into soup or stop blending when it is a little chunky.

Eat and enjoy.
