SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and next 7 ingredients (through broth) to a slow cooker/crockpot. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high or 4-8 hours on low. (If you are home, give it a stir every now and then and scrape down the sides)
• About 30-40 minutes before serving transfer soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, then return to crock pot.
• Prepare the roux. Begin by melting the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
• Add flour to melted butter and stir until flour clumps up. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream (or half & half) until mixture is thickened and smooth. Add roux and parmesan cheese to crockpot and stir to combine.
• Allow to cook another 20-30 minutes until cheese is completely melted. Give it a good stir before serving. Top with additional basil and parmesan cheese if desired.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, chicken broth, onions, oregano, and basil to your slow cooker. {If you want your soup more smooth and less chunky, pulse celery, carrots, and onion in a food processor until very fine. I did this so my veggies were more hidden in the soup.}
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until flavors are blended and vegetables are soft.
• About 30 minutes before the soup is ready prepare a roux.
• Melt the butter over medium low heat in a skillet and add the 1/2 cup of flour. Whisk together constantly for 5-7 minutes.
• Slowly add 1 cup of soup. This will start to form a thick paste. Slowly add another 3 cups of warm soup. Add this back to the slow cooker.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese, warmed half and half, and salt and pepper. Add additional oregano and basil if needed.
• Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
• You can also blend the soup in a blender at the very end to smooth the soup out if you would like.
