This satisfying, gluten-free soup is packed with healthful ingredients—cauliflower, sweet potatoes, beans—and Indian flavors. The ingredients require a little prep time, but the soup itself doesn’t get any easier to make—just stir and turn on the slow cooker! For a dairy-free version, simply omit the yogurt garnish.
Tip: It’s always a good idea to thaw frozen ingredients before adding them to the slow cooker crock. Extreme temperature changes as the slow cooker starts to heat the frozen food can cause the crock to crack.
