Recipe notes:

  • The soup can also be cooked on low for 8 hours in the slow cooker
  • In lieu of an immersion blender, transfer the cooked soup to a regular blender once the ingredients have cooked through. Blend until desired puree consistency is reached then return the soup to the slow cooker to continue the cooking process
  • The oat milk can be substituted with any thick unsweetened plant-based milk
  • Do not add the noodles to the slow cooker until just before the soup is to be served. If the soup is finished cooking but not ready to be served, change the slow cooker setting to keep warm until 10-12 minutes before eating
  • When ready to eat, change the setting back to hot, then stir in the noodles and cook the soup until al dente
  • Make sure to test the noodles every few minutes as they are cooking
  • Do not overcook the noodles
