Lemon Dill Vegetable Soup

I made this soup on a cold and rainy day in the middle of summer. It's hearty but filled with the spirit of summer.

Directions

I made this soup in a slowcooker, but it could easily be made on the stove.

1. Sauté the potatoes, carrots and onions for 5-7 minutes. Add to slowcooker.
2. Add all other ingredients and cook for 4 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low.
3. This step is optional. To thicken the soup, take 4 cups from the slowcooker and carefully place it in a blender. Blend until smooth and add back to slowcooker.
4. Serve and enjoy.
