Recipe - Smoky Veggie Soup

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I made this a couple of weeks ago. I really really really

enjoyed it. Sorry that the ingredients aren't all exact measurements.

It's something that I just threw together after I grilled. I wanted

to do something with the veggies and ended up creating this.

 

If you can't use it as a recipe, then maybe it will help with an idea

for one.

Smoky Veggie Soup

 

I grilled a few Mexican sliced zucchinis, bellpeppers, jalapenos

(whole), a sliced onion and a " head " of garlic. The zukes and bells

were marinated in oil and lemon/pepper seasoning.

 

I boiled several baking potatoes (about 6 or 7 small to medium

potatoes or enough to fill half your crockpot - chopped).

 

To the crockpot add:

 

The boiled potatoes

 

Baby carrots, raw and chopped in half either way, about 2-3 cups

 

1/2 cup of decently packed cilantro (to taste really)

 

1 of the grilled zucchini (approx. 4 of the lengthwise slices),

chopped

 

2 of the grilled bellpeppers, chopped

 

Half a grilled onion, chopped

 

1 1/2 jalp, chopped up (you wouldn't believe how hot it ended it up

with only that amount)

 

3-4 bulbs of the grilled garlic, chopped

 

water to fill 3/4 of the way up

 

3 veggie broth cubes, broken up in the water

 

Spices:

 

Mexican Oregano, to taste

Garlic powder, to taste

Red pepper flakes, dash/few flakes

Salt and black pepper, to taste

 

Turn crockpot to high for 2-3 hours

Turn to low for about an hour

 

Then I let it sit until the ceramic dish was fairly warm. I placed it

in the fridge overnight. The flavors really blended well. If you

like a smoky flavor then you'll love this. As well, this was HOT!
