Preparation
Step 1
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a slow cooker, and stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until all of the vegetables are cooked and tender. Remove the bay leaf.
At this point, you can either:
serve the soup as-is (brothy and chunky)
use a blender or food-processor to puree the soup completely (uber-thick and smooth)
use a blender or food processor to puree about half of the soup (so that it's thick and smooth but still a little chunky)
Serve the soup warm, garnished with your desired toppings. Or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
