Mediterranean Vegetable Stew image

Lots of wonderful veggies including artichoke hearts and fennel accompany the hearty potato and chickpeas in this slow cooker stew. For a thicker stew, puree up to two cups of the solids at the end of the cooking process. Recipe is from my Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook.
