Slow Cooker Vegan Carrot Potato Soup

It is definitely winter these past two weeks here where I live. It has been cold, namely that type of weather that makes you want to go home to a cup or two of hot soup. Here is an easy, healthy and delicious one.

I had a similar soup at my favorite restaurant, Flowers in the Attic, located five minutes from my house. Below is a picture of the soup with the portobello sandwich I ordered with it.  Oops I already ate the soup by the time I took the photo. It was that good.

Slow Cooker Vegan Carrot Potato Soup

• 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp dry onion flakes
• 1 tsp dry garlic flakes
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup non dairy milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• pepper to taste
• dash each thyme, paprika, cayenne and oregano

Add all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook for 3 hours at high setting or 6 hours at low. I cooked mine in an Aroma brand rice cooker/slow cooker for 2 hours. 

Mash the mixture or use a stick blender till smooth or to the consistency you prefer.
