1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

3. Stir all ingredients together in the crock pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Cover the crock pot and set it to low. Cook for 6-8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
5. Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired, for a bright, citrusy finish.
