Vegetarian Recipes: Creamy Vegetable Parmesan Soup with Italian Seasonings

July 6, 2012 by Susan Bewley 16 Comments

While Daniel thinks I’m crazy sometimes, I love eating soup year round, even when it’s 90 degrees out. To me, soup has always been one of those comfort foods that can help you very easily relax. I always find summertime to be a great time to experiment with different types of soups, since vegetables aren’t just available, but can be at their cheapest if you buy them at your local farm store or farmers market.  With so many different vegetables available, it is easy to make your own vegetarian recipe using common vegetables that you can find throughout the year.

When many people think of vegetable soup, they think of the bland, tomato base soup that you can find in a can. Personally, until I started making my own soups, I hated vegetable soups. I thought they were salty and tasted like bland frozen vegetables. Little did I know that I was right, many cans are bland, salty, and made from low quality vegetables. The best soups, at least from what I have found, usually take a long cooking time to bring out the best flavor, making them ideal for a crock pot or slow cooker.

This creamy soup may take a bit more work than your typical crock pot recipe, but I think it’s worth the effort. It is just one of those soups that is filled with flavor – you won’t even miss the meat that is in most soups. For those would like a creamier soup and don’t care if it’s vegetarian, I also put notes on things you can add to give it a bit more flavor. Personally, I prefer it being vegetarian, but I have made this soup both ways, depending on what I have in the house. While it may sound complicated, this is a very simple vegetarian recipe that is perfect for busy families!

    Soup is one of the special ingredients, which make the food more delicious. I also mainly prefer soup in all season with my dinner. It's too easy to make. According to my thinking it is as important as desserts.

    That looks fantastic!  We are not vegetarians but I am always looking for more meatless meals.  We are down to eating meat only 2-3 times per week and I'd love to get it down a little further.  Thanks a bunch… really looks/sounds yummy 🙂
