Super Easy Vegan Soup

Crockpot Vegan Soup

Leslie Reese, Nutritional Educator
I am always looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables into my family's diet. I am Vegan, but my husband and children are not, but this is a very easy soup that all of us enjoy.

Ingredients:

8 oz frozen chopped spinach
8 oz frozen crinkle cut carrots
4 oz chopped onions
4 oz chopped celery
8 oz frozen navy beans
1 16 oz can crushed tomatoes
5 peeled/cubed potatoes
16 oz favorite vegetable broth (I use Better Than Boullion Vegetable Base)

Place all of the ingredients in a CrockPot and cook on low for about 8-10 hours or high for 6-8 hours. Be sure there is enough liquid to cover ingredients, if not, add more water.

We enjoy eating this soup with Vegan Cornbread and/or crackers.

This has been the only way that I have successfully been able to get my family to eat spinach. I do not really care for it either, but it has some great health benefits, so this is how I squeeze it in. Most of the frozen products listed above are sold in 16 oz packages, so I can buy all of the ingredients, then simply put half into a freezer gallon size bag, and I have everything to make two big pots of soup. Very affordable and healthy meal.

    I can see myself cooking this and variations of it quite often in Korea!
    :)
    BTW, remind me not to read recipes when I'm hungry! LOL
