For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery in olive oil before adding them to the crockpot. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the beans with a potato masher or blend a portion of the soup and stir it back into the pot. Adjust the seasonings to taste and add more herbs or spices if desired. Serve the soup with crusty bread for a hearty meal.
