Stove top Instructions :Bring a large pot to medium heat and add a drizzle of your favorite cooking oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until edges are golden, then add all the vegies ,sauté well and cover to cook for 5 mins.
Next add veggie broth, tomato sauce, beans, and spices; stir to mix. Let mixture come to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes. The longer you let it cook, the more pronounced the flavor will be.

Slow Cooker Instructions :First chop the veggies. Next add everything except the toppings in slow cooker or crock pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours, until all the veggies are tender. My soup got perfect la dente texture after 3 hours on high. Add all your favorite toppings, and slurp !
