I didn't use a crock pot (I don't have one), but a regular pot worked just fine and was ready in less than an hour! I decided to saute the onions and garlic in some oil first before adding the rest of the ingredients. Because I don't like potatoes (unless they're fried ie. no potato taste), I substituted it with sweet potatoes (which I LOVE, especially when fried). I wanted a chunky soup, so I didn't use an immersion blender to soupify everything at the end. I even left the skin on on the sweet potatoes, because my mom said that the skin has the most nutrients. I will probably take the skin off next time though because it peeled off as it was cooking anyway and so now I have sweet potato skin floating around. =( As I was chopping up the white part of the 3 leeks, I thought it might be too much, but I ended up using all 3 anyway. It turned out fine! I used dried thyme, because I had that on hand and didn't add any heavy cream. I think I'd make this soup again, minus the sweet potato skins!
