Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup

March 1, 2014 by pictureperfectcooking

I know the official start of spring is (finally) right around the corner, but I have one more soup recipe to share with y’all. This is a delicious and easy slow cooker recipe from My Kitchen Addiction that I have made multiple times already. This soup is easy to adapt to your favorite ingredients and flavors. Try it and I think you will love it as much as I do.

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/2 sweet onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

32 oz. low sodium vegetable stock or broth

28 oz. diced tomatoes with juice

16 oz. frozen mixed vegetables

1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. Kosher salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup small pasta (I used elbow.)

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the onion/garlic mixture is soft and tender. Transfer this to a slow cooker and add the remaining ingredients except the pasta.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. About 45 minutes before you are ready to serve the soup, add the pasta and cover. Continue to cook on low until the pasta is cooked. I served this with a side of cornbread and it made a wonderful meal.

This soup looks comforting and delicious! We live in Louisville and have all the snow, too!

I think I’ll try this this weekend; looks like we’ll have to go back to the warm soups and stews for awhile until our weather improves again. So nice to meet another Kentucky food blogger! Lisa C. — a.k.a. Yummytums.com
