Notes
- Cooking time will depend on the thickness and toughness of your roast, the size of vegetables, how well your slow cooker seals, etc. All times are approximate and just a guideline in this recipe.
- You can place all vegetables around the roast at the beginning, pour the soup over top and cook. The vegetables will be softer but you can leave them cooking all day this way.
