Directions:
Chop and sauté a large onion and a few cloves of garlic and a tablespoon or two of olive oil. 

When onions are translucent, place in slow cooker pot or a large stockpot. 

Wash, peel, and chop the potatoes, carrots, broccoli, greens, and squash, and add them to the pot. 

Add chicken broth and white wine. 

Season with salt and pepper, and dried herbs.

Cook in a slow cooker or stove top until the vegetables are soft, then use an immersion blender to blend to your desired level of chunkiness. If you have no immersion blender, then blend small batches of a cup or two at a time to desired chunkiness.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve with greek yogurt. 

To upgrade, add a swirl of olive oil and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or other seeds.
