Crock Pot Vegetable Minestrone Soup Philip Wilkins / Getty Images
Minestrone soup is a very popular vegetable soup that is quite healthy and low in fat. This vegetarian crock pot minestrone soup recipe has no oil, so it is virtually fat free as well as low in calories. You can also add extra veggies, such as sweet corn (one of my favorites!), green peas or even some pre-soaked or canned beans.

Hearty and Delicious, Guest April

This minestrone soup was very hearty and delicious. I did not add water as advised by the other review but it could have used it. The veggies and pasta seemed to soak up a lot of the broth. I used a small crock pot and did not get all the veggies in. A suggestion is to split the recipe or to make sure you have a big slow cooker.
