    Instructions

    1 In a large frying pan, cook onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add prepared vegetables and flour. Mix well, allowing flour to absorb oil.

    2 Place vegetable mix into slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients and cook on high for 4 hours (or low for 6 hours).

    3 When vegetables are tender, purée or process soup until smooth and return to slow cooker to keep warm.

    4 Adjust the consistency to suit your personal taste.

    Serving suggestion

    Serve a thick soup with a little reduced-fat sour cream and chopped fresh mint. Or thin the soup with a little light coconut cream and garnish with coriander and toast6ed seeds if preferred.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and stock. Check ground spices are gluten free.
