Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
  • 2–3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 ribs Celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen green beans, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup Frozen corn
  • 1 cup Frozen peas
Broth and Seasoning
  • 1 14–15-ounce can Diced tomatoes with juices
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon, plus more to taste Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 leaf Bay leaf
Optional Finishing Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1–2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Wash and chop the vegetables, cutting the potatoes into pieces no larger than 1 inch so they cook evenly.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, potatoes, green beans, corn, peas, and diced tomatoes with their juices to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, and tomato paste if using. Stir briefly to distribute the ingredients.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup carefully. Adjust the salt and pepper, then stir in the fresh parsley just before serving if desired.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash a few cooked potato pieces against the side of the slow cooker before serving. Keep the vegetables mostly submerged, avoid overfilling the slow cooker, and taste after cooking because potatoes and unsalted broth can dilute the initial seasoning.
