I always crave soups in the winter season. They are warming, hit the spot, and aren't too rough on the digestive tract. This delicious soup is Vegan/Vegetarian friendly. Feel free to substitute some of the ingredients for any of your favorites.  I added all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it do it's thing. I love making soups in the slow cooker because they are so easy.
You will need:
