A hearty vegetable soup made in a slow cooker, perfect for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups onion (diced (white or yellow))
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • 2 large carrots (cut into 1/4″ slices)
  • 1½ cups cauliflower (chopped into 3/4″ chunks)
  • 1½ quarts chicken broth
  • 1 small zucchini (sliced and quartered)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 28-ounce can Italian stewed tomatoes (crushed)
  • 2 cans kidney beans (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup macaroni pasta

Instructions

  1. In a large 6-8 quart slow cooker, add the onions, garlic, carrots, cauliflower, chicken broth, zucchini, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, beans, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  2. Cover with a lid and slow cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low heat for about 6 hours—until the veggies are tender.

  4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
