Minestrone soup is a classic Italian dish that is both hearty and nutritious. This slow cooker version ensures you get all the rich flavors with minimal effort. Perfect for a busy day, this soup combines fresh vegetables, savory chicken broth, and gluten-free pasta for a delicious, comforting meal that everyone can enjoy.
- Prepare Vegetables Ahead: Chop all your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge. This will make your morning prep quick and easy.
- Use Low-Sodium Broth: Opt for a low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content of your soup, allowing the flavors of the fresh ingredients to shine through.
- Add Pasta Last: Add the gluten-free pasta during the last 30 minutes of cooking to avoid it becoming mushy.
- Customize with Protein: Feel free to add cooked chicken, Italian sausage, or extra beans if you would like to increase the protein content of the soup.
- Freeze Leftovers: This soup freezes well, so make a double batch and save the leftovers for an easy meal on a busy day.
Once cooked, your Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup will be a bowl of comfort and nutrition, perfect for any meal. With its vibrant colors and rich flavors, it is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy it with a slice of crusty gluten-free bread or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch.
