Crock Pot Carrot Soup With Honey And Nutmeg - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 medium yellow onions, chopped
    2 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
    3 lbs carrots or 15 medium carrots, scrubbed, tops cut off, and chopped
    1 -2 small garlic clove, pressed
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
    4 -6 cups water or 4 -6 cups chicken broth, as needed
    2 tablespoons honey
    1/2 - 1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
    sea salt, to taste
    fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often to cook evenly.
    Put the potatoes, carrots, garlic, and herbs in the slow cooker; add the onions and oil, scraping them out of the pan. Add enough of the water or broth to cover everything. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
    Turn the cooker to LOW and cook until the vegetables are soft, 5 to 7 hours. Puree in batches in a food processor or right in the slow cooker with a handheld immersion blender; the soup will be nice and thick. Stir in the honey and grate the nutmeg right over the crock. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm on LOW without letting it come to a boil until serving. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy.
