FAQ

Can I use any vegetables I have on hand?

Yes! This soup is very flexible. Potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, spinach, cabbage, peas, corn, green beans—almost anything works.

Do I need to sauté the vegetables first?

No, the slow cooker softens them beautifully. Sautéing adds extra flavor, but it’s completely optional.

How long should the soup cook in the slow cooker?

Usually 6–7 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high, depending on how soft you like the vegetables.

Can I add protein to this soup?

Absolutely. Add beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, or even shredded chicken if you want it heartier.

Why is my soup too thin?

Some vegetables release more liquid. You can thicken the soup by simmering with the lid off for 20–30 minutes or adding a slurry.

Can I make this soup creamy?

Yes! Stir in a splash of cream, coconut milk, or blended cooked veggies for a naturally creamy texture.
