Notes
This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad. You can top it with shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor. For richer flavor, sauté the onions and garlic before adding to the crock pot. Fresh vegetables can be used but may need less cooking time. A thickening slurry can be used if a thicker soup is desired.
