PREPARATION

Chop the onions finely. Chop the rest of the vegetables roughly into small cubes. Set the slow cooker to medium.

METHOD

Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker except for 500 ml of stock and the flour. Slowly pout the flour into the 500ml of stock stirring constantly. Keep stirring for a minute or so. Some of the flour will be mixed in and some will form lumps, that's not a problem. Pour the stock and flour mixture into the slow cooker and mix everything well.

Place the lid on and cook for 7 to 9 hours. Serve with chunky bread for a main meal. A smooth soup also tastes good, simply mix in an electric blender for one of minute. This soup freezes well.
