2. Half hour before eating, add cream or cashew milk + spaghetti, and cook 30 minutes longer. *

4. Remove bay leaves and enjoy!

Notes

*I don’t recommend swapping for gluten free pasta unless you cook it separately according to package instructions to al dante & add it right before serving due to it becoming mushy.

*See further instructions to find how to cut carrots into hearts.

More (fascinating) details…

Easy way to make carrot hearts:

1. Cut your carrot into 3″ lengths,
2. With a paring knife, make a little V into the carrot lengthwise to form heart top (See photo↑)
3. Trim either side to make V at heart bottom
4. Dice the carrots, including the extra pieces (the ones that are not part of the heart), and add them to the pot as well. Cut the hearts fairly thin so they cook thoroughly in the slow cooker.
5. Get little helper to help by adding the ingredients.

Break the spaghetti into quarters. Any strand pasta will do the trick, or 1/2 cup macaroni style will do in a pinch. Use whole wheat, or sub regular, or can use gluten free pasta… The soup’s destiny is in your hands… 😛

From my kitchen to yours, enjoy!
