The advantages of the multicooker over traditional cooking methods are known even to those who do not yet have this wonderful invention in their kitchen. However, those lucky ones who own it know firsthand that cooking porridge or roast, meatballs or pilaf in it will take the shortest time and require minimal effort from the hostess. Therefore, now we will learn how to cook vegetable soup in a slow cooker.
Recipe number 1: product preparation
To get started, we get all the necessary ingredients. Since the first recipe for vegetable soup in the cooker is extremely simple, we need only 2 medium-sized tomatoes, 1 juicy bell pepper, 1 onion, a handful of white round-grain rice, 1.5-2 liters of broth or water, a little greens, oil, spices . To start, we prepare all the products: wash, peel and finely chop. Tomatoes should first be peeled off by making a cross-shaped incision at the top and pouring boiling water for 2 minutes. Now we set the Frying mode on the multicooker, pour a little oil and fill the onion, close the lid. When the oil is hot and the first ingredient begins to brown, we add the bell pepper and leave it like this for about 5 minutes, you can stir everything a couple of times to evenly heat the roast.
Finish cooking
However, it should be remembered that when you cook vegetable soup in the Redmond multicooker or any other dish, you need to touch the products inside the bowl with exclusively designed kitchen tools: a silicone-coated spatula or, in extreme cases, a plastic spoon. Now we add tomatoes, chopped into large cubes, pre-washed rice, fill with broth (you can use either meat, vegetable or on a cube) and set the mode to “Soup” or “Braising”. About 10 minutes before the end of cooking (the remaining time is displayed), we add parsley and spices. If desired, you can also add any meat ingredient (sausages, cooked or smoked sausage, ham, boiled pork, etc.) cut into small cubes or sticks. After 30-40 minutes, you can serve it to the table with fresh bread. Such a vegetable soup in a slow cooker will turn out to be very light, satisfying and truly spring. Bon Appetit!
Recipe number 2. Hearty
According to another recipe, you can cook another vegetable soup in a slow cooker - with the addition of mushrooms and green beans. It differs in that it can be cooked without meat ingredients, since it will turn out to be very satisfying.
So, to prepare it, we need 1 medium onion, a small carrot, 300 g of fresh potatoes and mushrooms (preferably champignons, but you can use other available ones), half a package of green beans (i.e. 200 g), a can canned green peas, 2-2.5 liters of water or broth, vegetable oil and spices. To begin with, peel all raw vegetables, grind with a knife or on a grater. Now, as in the first recipe, fry the onions and carrots with the addition of a small amount of butter, and after browning, throw the mushrooms and chopped potatoes into the bowl. So hold for another 10 minutes, until all the ingredients are cooked in half. Add the green beans directly in frozen form and green peas without juice, fill everything with water and put in the “Soup” mode. And again, 10-15 minutes before complete readiness, we sprinkle spices (salt, black pepper) and herbs. Such a vegetable soup , cooked in a slow cooker, is best served with fried bread, grated clove of garlic. In a difficult spring period, such a dish will help to quickly restore immunity after a long winter. Bon Appetit!
Recipe number 3. Soft
Very tender and spring turns out and a simple vegetable soup puree. In a slow cooker, it will cook much faster, literally in 40-60 minutes. For it, we need 2 chicken breasts, 1 small zucchini, 2 small carrots and 2 tomatoes, 4 medium potatoes, a head of onion and 1 bell pepper, 200 g of frozen cauliflower and a can of green canned peas. A large number of ingredients should not scare you, because they will all be cooked at the same time, and besides, such a variety of flavors in one dish will make it rich and truly nutritious. We wash all of the above products, if necessary, clean and cut into large pieces. We put everything into the multicooker bowl, fill it with water to the top and cook it in the “soup” mode, setting the timer for 20 minutes instead of the set forty without taking into account the time to set pressure inside the device. Now we pour the broth, and pour the remaining cooked mass into a pan and grind it using a blender to a puree consistency, gradually adding milk to your liking. It remains only to boil everything on the stove for 5 minutes - and the delicious spring soup is ready. Bon Appetit!
