Equipment

4 Quart Crock-Pot , 4.5 Quart, 5 Quart, 5.5 Quart or 6 Quart Crock-Pot
Vegetable Peeler
Knife
Cutting Board
Can Opener
Dry Measuring Cups And Spoons
Liquid Measuring Cup
Immersion Blender or regular blender
Cheese Grater

Ingredients

3 Medium Carrots peeled and finely diced
1 Medium Yellow Onion finely diced
3 Ribs Celery finely diced
28 Ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes with liquid
1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
¼ Cup Fresh Basil chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried
3 Cups Vegetable Broth
1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Cups Half & Half can use fat-free
Salt And Pepper to taste

Instructions

To a 4-6 quart slow cooker add the 3 Medium Carrots, 1 Medium Yellow Onion, 3 Ribs Celery, 28 Ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon Fresh Oregano, ¼ Cup Fresh Basil and 3 Cups Vegetable Broth.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, until the vegetables are cooked and soft.
Using a hand-held blender right in the slow cooker blend until the soup is to your desired smoothness (I left it a little chunky, but you can blend until completely smooth if you desire).
Add the 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese and 2 Cups Half & Half to the soup in the crock-pot and turn the heat up to high.
Cover and cook for 30 to 40 additional minutes until the soup is hot.
Taste soup and season with Salt And Pepper to your preferences and serve.

Notes

You may also use a regular jar blender if you do not have an immersion blender. Simply ladle the hot soup into the jar in several batches and carefully blend the hot soup until it is as smooth as you desire.
