Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk to a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Then remove the bay leaves and use an immersion blender to carefully purée the soup until it’s smooth.
Then stir in the coconut milk. Cover and cook on low for 10-15 minutes until the coconut milk is combined and heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
You can carefully spoon the contents of your crockpot into your blender to purée if you do not have an immersion blender. Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
