So you can peel for 5-10 meals worth of vegetables AND cook it all in under 15 minutes (slow cook it at that)? Well, you must have found a way to bend spacetime or something. I understand one hour is very long, but no need to go overboard in the other direction either.
I think it was the preparation time, not the cooking time. You can prepare a vegetable soup from raw vegetables in less than 15 minutes. With some training you can do that in 5 minutes. You'll need an extra 30 minutes simmering though but no more work after preparation unless you want it mixed. You really can't overcook a vegetable soup. You can even keep it a couple of days in the pan without it getting sour.
It's a hassle free meal.
But you are right, the truth lies between 15 minutes and an hour.

I can peel enough veg in that time, yes. That's pretty much it for preparation (which is what I said took 15 minutes) as I'll just drop a joint of meat in.
Beyond that cooking it is sticking it in a slowcooker and turning it on. It takes a long time, but that just means a bit of planning (but hardly much).
