Creamy, satisfying, nutritious, and full of flavor. I actually use my Crock-Pot for meat, chicken, and cholent, rather than for soups. But after creating this recipe, I’m hooked. It’s a pleasure to put everything in a pot and forget about it. You can sauté the onions and garlic the day before to make the process even quicker.

Start Cooking
Prepare the Soup
-
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan.
-
Add onions and sauté over medium heat for 15 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Add garlic during the last two minutes.
-
Transfer onions and garlic to a six- to eight-quart Crock-Pot. Add beans, carrots, celery, zucchini, quinoa, and apple cider vinegar, if using. Add four cups of water. Dissolve chicken and onion soup mix in the remaining four cups of water and stir. Add to Crock-Pot with the salt, pepper, sage, and thyme.
-
Turn Crock-Pot to high and cook for about seven hours. Add spinach and parsley the last half hour or hour. Cool slightly.
-
Remove half the soup (with beans and veggies) from the Crock-Pot and blend with an immersion blender. Return to pot and mix together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit of Italian seasoning at the end if you feel it needs a little kick.
This soup thickens as it sits. Reheat it over low heat, stirring often. You might want to add a bit of water to thin out.

Replies:Yes, I would cook it low and slow for many hours. I would follow similar directions as the recipe calls for but you're just not using a crock pot.
