I am no way near to being a full-blown vegetarian, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy eating meatless meals every now and then. Lately, Chris and I have been eating meatless at least once a week. It’s a chance for our bodies to slow down and savor the flavor of just vegetables, without big hunks of meat getting in the way. Maybe I will make the switch to vegan one day, who knows. I certainly feel great when I eat a healthy diet of whole foods with less meat products.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I never use my crock pot enough. Every time I prepare a meal in the crock pot, it makes me question why I don’t use it more often. This recipe is really simple. Just throw everything in the pot, let it simmer, puree and you’ve got a flavorful soup that is great for any night of the week.

Thanks for the mention! Believe it or not, I’m eating this for lunch today! Curry and carrot is just such a delicious paring.
Vegan, huh? Meat and eggs are also whole foods, except that they are far more nutrient-dense and satiating than plants. You’re far better off as a flexitarian, or semi-meatless or whatever, than depriving your body of the animal protein we evolved to eat. That being said, the soup looks delicious and I think I’ll be firing up the crockpot, but I’ll be using homemade chicken stock and some local raw cream
Love the idea of local raw cream…sounds delicious. I will add that next time! Probably not full vegan… maybe ovolactovegetarian or semivegetarian. Some people actually do better on a plant based diet, others thrive more on a meat based diet with of course whole grains, fruits and vegetables. It depends on the genetics, lifestyle, blood type and more. It is possible though.
I absolutely adore this recipe- thanks for sharing! I’m so happy to have another use for freakin carrots! YES!
