Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a heartier version, add diced potatoes or cooked, crumbled sausage to the slow cooker along with the vegetables. Those looking to lighten the recipe can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or even a non-dairy creamer. Additionally, a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end can add a delightful tang to the soup. For an extra touch of warmth, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes to give it a gentle kick.
