CROCK POT GROUND BEEF MINESTRONE SOUP



Crock Pot Ground Beef Minestrone Soup image

My husband and I were lifting the lid about every 15 minutes to taste the broth because it tasted so delicious to us. I slapped this recipe together yesterday for the first time and we will definitely be making this again and again. This experiment came out way better than expected. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I love soup loaded with vegetables in a flavorful tomato based broth. I was looking to use up two thawed uncooked hamburger patties along with a bunch of fresh veggies I had in my fridge.

CROCK POT MINESTRONE SOUP



CROCK POT MINESTRONE SOUP image

Categories     Bean

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained, rinsed (cannellini or navy) (not pictured above)
32 oz container reduced sodium chicken broth or veggie broth
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery (Not pictured above)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can petite diced tomatoes (i used (1) (14oz can of diced tomatoes and the rest were fresh cherry tomatoes I cut up)
Parmesan cheese rind (optional) (I keep these in my freezer when i have used up all the cheese)
1 fresh rosemary sprig
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (not pictured)
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley (not pictured)
1/2 tsp kosher salt and fresh black pepper
1 medium 8 oz zucchini, diced
2 cups chopped fresh (or frozen defrosted) spinach, kale, swiss chard whatever you prefer. (I did not use greens because it can change coumadin levels and his grandmother is on coumadin)
2 cups cooked small pasta such as ditalini or elbows (al dente)- use what you have on hand, try whole wheat pasta as well.
This is also good with ground turkey or make little mini meatballs, chicken would also be good added to this soup to add in some protein.
extra parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Step 1: Turn crock pot on low. Drain and rinse beans and put into a blender or food processor. Add in 1 cup of broth. Blend well. Add mixture to the crock pot, followed by the remaining broth. Add in basil, parsley, bay leaves, rosemary, parmesan rind, salt, and pepper. Step 2: Next add in your tomatoes. Give it a good stir. Step 3: Chop up your onion, carrots, celery, and mince your garlic. Add oil to the pan and saute veggies until soft. Around 8-10 minutes. Transfer veggies to the crock pot, mix it all together and put the lid on and cook on low 6-8 hours. Forty minutes before you are ready to serve, add in your zucchini and greens (spinach, kale, or swiss chard) Let it cook for 30 minutes. At this time you can also cook your pasta, so it will be ready to serve with the soup. To serve: add 1 yellow container 3/4 full of pasta (preferably whole wheat) to your bowl. (remember you used a can of white beans in this, so don't fill your yellow up completely. The beans will count towards some of your yellow also. Top with 1 Green container of soup. Get lots of good veggies in your container. Add a little broth if needed. Top with Parmesan cheese. Remove the Parmesan rind from the soup (this tastes amazing, but the added calories of eating it do not fit into the plan) This soup is a great way to add in some green containters. It is filled with good veggies. I also don't tend to count broth in my containers. I figure the amount of broth used, fills in the gaps between the veggies in the container. (i used veggie broth) I may be incorrect in this thinking, so if anyone knows the answer to this please let me know. I would count this as follows: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue, and 1 tsp. ** if you were to add in chicken or turkey meatballs, then I would also count it as a 1 Red

CHILI MINESTRONE SOUP (CROCK POT)



Chili Minestrone Soup (Crock Pot) image

This is somewhere between a chili and a minestrone... It is spicy, so I warn you to adjust the seasonings and/or the tomatoes and beans used accordingly if you don't want that! I did not put any pasta in this but you can if you wish at the end of cooking. This is good with homemade croutons and a sprinkling of cheese on top, or with a grilled cheese sandwich, or by itself.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies (I used Red Gold Petite Diced Mexican Fiesta spiced tomatoes)
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans (I used Bush's Best Chili Beans with Hot Sauce)
1 cup onion, chopped
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (mix of peas, carrots, beans, and corn)
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 cups tomato juice
3 cups water
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon mrs. dash extra spicy sodium-free seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Put everything in a 4 quart or larger slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for at least 6 hours. We like our soups very long simmered, so I let this go a good 8-10 hours. I don't think you can overcook it.

MINESTRONE SOUP (CROCK POT)



Minestrone Soup (Crock Pot) image

Both my husband and I LOVE this minestrone soup. It's the only one I'll make! It's a very healthy soup with a wonderful tasting broth. You can leave out the ham if you wish (to make it meatless). It freezes well! I love that I can start this early in the day and forget about it. It's perfect served with some nice crusty bread. Enjoy!
