4. Add the chopped vegetables and bay leaf, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat for at least 8 hours. You can sauté the vegetables beforehand. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 7–9 minutes, until the onion and celery become translucent. Add the vegetables to the slow cooker and cook on high heat for at least 4 hours.
