Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced into small pieces
  • 2 cans fire roasted tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (12 oz)

Seasonings

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

Liquid

  • 8 cups vegetable stock

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Place everything in the slow cooker. Layering the ingredients is key to maximizing flavor; the onions and garlic at the bottom caramelize slightly, creating a deeper, richer base for the soup.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2.5-3 hours until the potatoes are soft.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

I tested this recipe with both regular vegetable stock and low-sodium vegetable stock. The regular stock resulted in a soup that was too salty, even with no added salt. That’s why I recommend using low-sodium stock and adjusting the salt to taste at the end.
