Instructions:

- Set the slow cooker on low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

- Remove the bay leaf from the soup.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Tips:
- For added flavor, consider sautéing the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the slow-cooker.
- If you prefer a heartier soup, you can add some cooked beans or lentils to the mix.
- Adjust the spices to your taste; if you like a bit more heat, add extra red pepper flakes.
- For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before serving.
- Leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure to portion them out in airtight containers for easy reheating.
