Yes, absolutely! When using a crockpot sauté the onions, and celery for 2 to 3 minutes, add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more before adding the rest of the ingredients. If your crockpot doesn’t have a sauté function, simply sauté in a pan on your stovetop before adding to the crockpot. Add the broth and the rest of the vegetables and the herbs to the crockpot. Cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. Add the white beans to the crockpot during the last 30-minutes of cooking.
