Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup
A very vegan vegetable soup! A comforting, cozy slow cooker vegetable soup recipe that's perfect for winter. Packed with beans, veggies and tomatoes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil*
- 1 white or yellow onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 2 yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups chopped green beans
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes (regular or fire roasted)
- 1 15 ounce white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
Instructions
- Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a separate saucepan or in the base of a slow cooker with a sauté function. Add in 1 chopped onion, 2 garlic cloves, 3 diced carrots, 3 diced celery stalks, and a pinch of salt and sauté for 5-8 minutes until vegetables have softened, stirring occasionally.
- If cooking in a separate saucepan, transfer to the base of a slow cooker. Add in the 2 diced potatoes, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 4 cups broth, 1 bay leaf, 2 cups chopped green beans, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 can diced tomatoes and 1 can white beans. Cover, cooking on low heat for 6 hours, until vegetables are tender and potatoes are cooked through.
- Right before serving, stir in 1/2 lemon juice and chopped 1/3 cup parsley. Season to taste, adding in more freshly ground black pepper and salt as needed.
Notes
*While this is a slow-cooker recipe, sautéing the vegetables first layers in a lot of flavor. My slow cooker has a saute function, so this isn't a huge step. If yours doesn't, you can sauté first in a saucepan and then transfer to your slow cooker. Alternatively, you can just add in all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and skip sauté part.
