2. Saute onions and garlic together and add to crockpot.
3. Add the vegetables and spices to crockpot. (If chopping as you go, turn on crockpot now. Add hard veggies first: carrots, celery; then bell and jalapeņo peppers; last spices.)
4. Add in crushed and diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
5. Stir well
6. Set crockpot to high and cook for 4 hours or use the low setting and slow cook for 6 hours.
7. Optional: sprinkle individual bowls with shredded cheddar cheese.
