Slow Cooker Roasted Vegetable Soup

It’s that time of year where soup is ALWAYS on time when it’s cooler outside. I have a vegetable soup that I often cook but I wanted to add some variety. On snow days or days where we are in the house for some hours this roasted vegetable soup is the best part of the day. 

The ingredients are fairly minimal and honestly can be modified depending on your favorite vegetables. When it comes to soup, I use the same concept I use with my salads- just make it pretty. LOL 

I wanted to add pretty vegetables: tomatoes, red peppers, yellow peppers, and carrots. But I of course added my signature: a southern twist: collard greens. Remember when you make this recipe- the frozen collard greens are the best. They are smaller leaves and chopped up and perfect for this recipe and soups. 

Roasting vegetables is so easy it’s ridiculous. It is as simple as cut the vegetables, add olive oil, roast for 30 min and flip and roast for another 30 min. Yes, just that easy. 

The seasonings are to taste (of course) but if you’ll notice a lot of my recipes use the same- garlic powder and onion powder and black pepper. The reason I am minimal on the seasoning is the Better Than Bouillon roasted vegetable seasoning. This seasoning PACKS A PUNCH! It is amazing and makes any vegetable taste so rich. The seasoning is very good and has a “roast” taste.  

This recipe can be made more of a broth type OR creamy. The way I chose to make it was creamy. But it can totally be made however you choose. 

I included the video from YouTube. It’s so easy Frenns! 

Let me know if you try it.
