For an even richer flavor, consider sautéing the onion and garlic in a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. Feel free to customize the vegetables in the soup based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Carrots, celery, and zucchini are all great additions. If you don't have vegetable shortening, you can substitute it with butter or margarine. To make the dumplings gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
