Root Vegetable Soup - Vegan & Gluten-Free

One of my favorite things about Autumn is cutting the chill with a hearty, simple yet flavorful veggie soup.  Bring on the root veggies...

Utilizing mostly local, all organic ingredients, here's one of my latest soups that I cooked overnight in the crock pot.  As much as I love cooking on the stove top, I think tossing everything in the crock pot before bedtime & cooking as I sleep is my new favorite thing.  Everyone knows how much I love to multitask!  ;)  

Ingredients: (you can easily adjust amounts for your tastes)
Add the following ingredients to your crock pot, cook until done!  Mine was in the pot for about 8 hours.
Approx. 30 oz. homemade vegetable stock (that I canned in September)
8-10 turnips, peeled, chopped into 1-1.5 inch pieces
6 potatoes, peeled, chopped into 1-1.5 inch pieces
4 yellow onions, peeled, chopped into .75-1 inch pieces
6 garlic cloves, peeled, sliced 
6 carrots, peeled, chopped into 1-1.5 inch pieces
Turn off the heat.  Add chopped parsley & freshly ground salt & pepper to taste.  Let sit for no more than 2 hours.  Cool the rest of the way in the refrigerator.  Freeze!
