My wife made this one, so I asked for permission to take pictures as she went and post it if it turned out well. She said yes, and oh boy, did it turn out well! So here we are! Her idea for this soup came from the fact that we had some leftover cabbage and celery from some prior meals, and we still had our haul of Canned Tomatoes sitting on our kitchen counter. She broke out the crockpot, built some incredible flavours by sautéing a few key ingredients, and then letting everything meld together over the course of a few hours in the slow cooker while we went on a bike ride!
