Slow Cooker 4 bean Veggie Soup!


I just love this recipe! Super yummy! This is my lower calorie version without noodles and without Parmesan cheese.


Slow Cooker Vegetarian Minestrone Recipe

6 cups vegetable broth 
1 (28 ounce) can crushed or diced tomato
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15 oz) can White or Cannellini Bean
 1 (15 oz) can Black Bean
1 (15 oz) can Pinto Bean
1 large onion, chopped
1 (15 oz) can drained cut Carrots (or 2 fresh carrots)
1 (15 oz) can green beans
1 small zucchini
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 Tbsp salt
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper

Drain and rinse all beans.  Put all ingredients into Slow Cooker and cook for 7 to 8 hours. 

Makes about 5 servings at only 312 calories each! 

I freeze half in ready to heat bowls and keep 3 in frig for my lunches each day.  When I get to my 3rd day of lunch....I pull out the other two! Super yummy and filling!
