Instructions

  1. Sauté bell peppers, onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until soft, about 8-10 minutes, adding a drop or two of water as needed to avoid sticking.
  2. Add sautéed veggies plus all other ingredients to slow cooker. Mix thoroughly and cook on low 4-5 hours or until vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir. Add more vegetable broth and/or tomato sauce if it is too thick. Serve immediately or cook 1-2 additional hours on low to further deepen and marry the flavors.
