Tips for Making Soups in the Slow Cooker
Some vegetables just don't work well in the slow cooker. Zucchini and okra both get slimy in the crockpot, so stick to heartier veggies like carrots, celery, butternut squash, potatoes, and corn.
Once the soup is close to being ready taste test. Maybe you need to add some black pepper, red pepper flakes, or even a splash of heavy cream or milk to thicken the soup.
Fresh herbs do wonders for soups. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil when serving. You can always add a sprig to a spoonful of soup beforehand to see if the flavor is a fit.
