Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, nutrients, and color to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you add too much food, it will not cook evenly. Leave some space between the ingredients so that they can circulate freely.
- Cook on low for longer. This will help the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften. For most soups, 6-8 hours on low is ideal.
- Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust other seasonings as desired. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Some good options include grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, and chopped fresh herbs.
