Here’s some hearty crockpot minestrone soup to keep you warm during the cold.
Minestrone soup is a classic. It’s simple, loaded with vegetables, and is just as filling as a hearty stew. There are many variations of minestrone soup, I prefer adding a leafy vegetable to mine. You can choose to substitute canned ingredients for fresh. I don’t mind using canned, it’s much quicker. 🙂
And the taste is just divine. Thick, rich, full-bodied with tomatoes, potatoes, and beans!
Ingredients
1 can diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings
1 small bunch of rainbow carrots, sliced
4 small gold potatoes, chopped
1 sweet onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
2 teaspoons coarse salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
4 cups vegetable broth
1 ½ cups water
3 ½ cups tomato juice
2 cans white kidney beans
1 large zucchini, chopped
1 cup Ditalini Pasta
1 can green beans
1 cup chopped baby spinach
Directions
Add diced tomatoes, rainbow carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, bay leaves, broth, water and tomato juice to crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours.
During the last half hour, add the white kidney beans, chopped spinach, zucchini, green beans and pasta. Stir to combine. Cook for 30 minutes on low.
Note: you can add mini meatballs or spicy sausage for those meat lovers!
