HOW TO MAKE THIS SLOW COOKER VEGETABLE CURRY RECIPE
- STEP 1 – Rough chop all of the vegetables except broccoli. Cut broccoli into florets. Note: if using frozen broccoli then it’s already cut for you.
- STEP 2 – Place all the veggies in the crockpot except the broccoli. Turn the crockpot to high heat for 3 hours. Note: the reason why I don’t add the broccoli here is that it gets too mushy and separates. The soup will turn out green if you add it to the crockpot with all the other vegetables.
- STEP 3 – Sprinkle curry powder, cumin powder, salt, and spoon Better Than Bouillion Roasted Garlic into vegetables and stir to coat. Note: the crockpot should be warming up the vegetables and seasonings.
- STEP 4 – Pour the broth over the mixture, cover it, and cook for 2 hours on medium-high heat. Note: Setting it on low heat will take approximately 4 hours.
- STEP 5 – After 2 hours place broccoli, cream cheese, and any additional seasonings (extra curry or salt to taste). Stir and then cook covered for an additional 1 hour.
