For a richer flavor, sauté the onion and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency. Add more if you prefer a thinner soup. For a heartier meal, add cooked chicken, sausage, or chickpeas during the last hour of cooking. This soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. If you don’t have fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of dried dill can be substituted, but fresh dill is preferable.
