What I love about minestrone soup is that you really can’t screw it up. You’re encouraged to use whatever vegetables are in season.

To me that means it’s the perfect soup to clean out my produce drawer with. Carrots, celery, zucchini, onion, etc. Some people add potatoes but I did not this time.

And don’t forget your pantry since this includes beans and pasta. Canned beans are okay just be sure to drain and rinse them first. I used canned for both the kidney and great northern beans.

Ready to cook!

Trying to keep this as healthy as possible, I used quinoa pasta which is gluten, wheat, and corn-free. Paired with the addition of the beans and various veggies, this hearty soup is not just high-fiber but also packed with nutrients.

I add cumin to everything so if you don’t have the 1/4 tsp of cumin, don’t panic just omit it. Got fresh herbs? Definitely toss those in!

You’ll need a large slow cooker for this recipe, at least a 6-quart. I used my Crock-Pot® 8-Quart Manual Slow Cooker.

    Do I need to cook the pasta first?

      Nope, the pasta goes in raw.

    This sounds like the perfect soup, quick and easy to prepare. I just made my third soup and it didn’t come out so bad, I think I would be able to do this one a little more justice.

    We live in the midwest and right now, we are all about homemade soups. In the winter months, a great soup can be eaten for a couple of days. I especially love one where you can mix up the veggies or the shape and type of pasta.
