Crock-Pot Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup

Warm up to a big bowl of this vegetarian recipe for Crock-Pot Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup. It is hearty, delicious soup that your family will love!

Crock-Pot Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup

Slow Cooker Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup

This recipe for Crock-Pot Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup is included in our new 10 Crock-Pot Easy Freezer Meals meal plan.  If you are coming to this soup recipe first and are interested in doing freezer meals, start at this page here. However, this recipe does NOT have to be frozen first, if you are wanting to do this recipe by itself, then stay right here on this recipe and we will go from here.

This minestrone was a fun soup to put together.  It is an easy recipe to be able to add or delete to your families taste. That is my kind of recipe!

My little’s are quite excited if I add kidney and black beans to just about anything, where as if I add onions they like to complain (which is why I shred them, because then they can’t tell). So choose what your family will enjoy.

You could choose other various beans, potatoes, green beans, corn, spinach, even chunks of cheese.
Just be sure to stick with the instructions for the noodles, as you’ll want a firm noodle and it’s just safer to cook them outside of the crock.  I did this vegetarian style, outside of the cheese on top,  but feel free to change it to how your family tastes are.

If you would like to make this recipe vegan or gluten-free the only real ingredient you need to worry about is the pasta…but luckily you can buy both vegan pastas and gluten free pastas at most grocery stores or online!

If you and your family don’t eat cheese, omit it. Want to add meat…go for it…shredded chicken, ground beef, stew meat…they all will be lovely in this minestrone recipe!

Notes

Crock-Pot Freezer Meal Instructions:

  • Write on the freezer bag the name of the recipe and the basic instructions
  • Pour all in the Ziploc freezer bag (I would suggest not the slider version and to use a name brand) except the noodles, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese and the veggie broth.
  • Write on your veggie broth that it is for this recipe so you save it for when you need it/with Sharpie marker and place back in your pantry.
  • Do the same for your Rotini noodles
  • Carefully lay flat and squeeze out as much air as possible and zip
  • Freeze flat in the freezer.
  • Thaw before using.

    I’m looking at the freezer/crock pot veggie minestone soup. The directions state to leave out the veggie broth before freezing. Is that to save space in the freezer? I’m making freezer meals for a new mom — simplicity trumps freezer space, and I’d like to add the broth — unless it won’t work! Sounds like a delicious version of minestone!!

      You could add the broth. The omission is to save space but you can totally add it in. What a nice thing to offer up a new mom Karen!
