Notes

For extra flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in butter before adding them to the crock pot. To make it thicker, add a cornstarch slurry in the last hour of cooking. Experiment with seasonings like smoked paprika for a unique flavor twist. If the soup thickens too much during storage, add milk or broth to reheat.
