Preparation

Step 1

Cook the onion and garlic in a bit of oil until the onion is soft.
Add remaining ingredients, except cider vinegar, to the pot.
Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in cider vinegar, if desired.
To make soup in slow cooker, place all ingredients in crock and cook on high 5-6 hours or low 7-8 hours. No need to cook onion and garlic before adding to slow cooker.

NOTE: I forgot to add the cider vinegar to the pot at the end of cooking, but a few of us stirred a couple of drops into our bowls of soup. I liked the soup both with and without the vinegar.
