Warm and cozy minestrone soup made easy in the slow cooker! The perfect way to stay warm this winter. Gluten free and vegan recipe.

Simple and healthy slow cooker minestrone soup is such an easy meal, and it’s loaded with veggies. This gluten free and vegan soup is the perfect way to warm up this winter. Serve it with some vegan bread sticks or a light green salad for an easy dinner.

There’s nothing like a warm and cozy bowl of soup when you’re under the weather, is there? If you’re tired and run down, or suffering from a cold, a bowl of soup is the perfect remedy. This slow cooker minestrone soup is just right for those days when you don’t feel great – it’s soothing, full of nutrients, and very low maintenance.

As I mentioned on Monday, we have been having a rough time over here. This cold is just making its way through our family one person at a time. And it’s leaving us a bit tired and crabby. It’s times like these that I’m grateful for the slow cooker! I can just throw everything inside and forget about it. A few hours later, dinner is served.

We love to make yellow split pea soup in the crockpot as well as this wild rice sausage soup – these are easy, dairy free meals that are perfect for busy days.

Can I use a different kind of bean in this soup?

You can use any kind of canned beans that work for you! Navy beans, black beans, pinto beans – these would all work well. Don’t use dried beans in this recipe – just use canned beans.

I added some kale to this minestrone soup because I’m always trying to find ways to get us to eat more greens over here. You could use spinach instead if you prefer.

I think you’ll love this slow cooker minestrone soup. It’s:

  • full of beans and vegetables, so it has lots of fiber
  • very warming and hearty on a cold day
  • naturally vegan and gluten free

This is a great meal to make if you’re having an especially busy week, too. It’s so simple, with almost no prep time, and it’s filled with healthy veggies to keep you going when you’re stressed out.
