One of the advantages of making soup in your slow cooker is the richness of flavor from the slow cooking process. The other obvious advantage is the ease and convenience. Although some of the recipes in this book require some advance preparation of the ingredients, most are dump them in and turn it on.
You can put everything in your slow cooker in the morning and your soup will be ready when you get home for dinner.
Although we tend to think about soup in the cold winter months, these recipes make wonderful comfort meals any time of the year. Plus there are a couple recipes that can be served chilled for warm days.
To Stir or Not To Stir
Some recipes call for a careful mixing of the ingredients before cooking and others call for the ingredients to be layered and not stirred. The reasoning behind this is that some ingredients like uncooked meat, potatoes and carrots take longer to cook and do better if they are lower in the slow cooker closer to the heat source. Be sure to read the instructions carefully so you’ll get the best results.
Brand Name Products
If product brand names are mentioned in the recipes, they are intended as guides for finding the ingredient in your store. Other options may be available depending on your local area. Don’t feel obligated to purchase the brand name product in order to get perfect soup.
Adapting Stove Top Recipes
If you have a favorite stove top soup recipe, it can be successfully cooked in the slow cooker if you follow a few simple guidelines. You can also use similar recipes in this book as a guide when adapting one of your stove top recipes.
Liquids: Generally, the amount of liquid called for in a recipe can be decreased by about half. Monitor it every so often while cooking to be sure it doesn’t boil over and there is enough liquid for the thickness of soup you like.
Pasta and Rice: When the recipe calls for cooked pasta, cook it according to package directions until almost done before adding it. This way it won’t get mushy in the final soup. Most of the recipes will also suggest adding the cooked pasta and rice in the last stage of cooking. When using rice, it is most often best to pre-cook it a little before adding it so it will be cooked enough.
Dried Beans: Most of the recipes suggest soaking the beans overnight before cooking them in the slow cooker. To save time you can substitute canned beans but if you do the cooking time will no doubt need to be reduced.
Herbs and Spices: Ground herbs and spices lose their flavor over long cooking times, so it’s best to add them near the end. Whole herbs release their flavors over time better, so they are a better choice. You should always taste and if necessary adjust the seasonings before serving.
Milk/Cheese: Milk, sour cream, and heavy cream break down over long cooking times. They should be added during the final stages of cooking. Condensed cream soups are good substitutions for milk and can be cooked
