A delightful, hearty minestrone in the crockpot using low-sodium V8 juice as a base...so flavorful that you don't need the salt! Ingredients:
1/2 large onion |
4 garlic cloves |
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce (optional) |
1 zucchini |
1/2 cup carrot |
2 stalks celery |
2 cups green beans |
1 small potato |
1 1/2 cups canned white beans |
46 ounces low-sodium tomato juice (such as v8) |
2 cups water |
1 teaspoon basil |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1 cup baby spinach |
Directions:
1. Pour V8 juice, water, spices, and soy sauce (if you're not watching your sodium intake too closely) into a 2.5 quart crockpot.
2. Chop the onion, garlic, zucchini, carrots, celery, green beans, and potato; add to the crockpot.
3. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
4. Before serving, stir in baby spinach and heat until wilted.
5. Ladle into individual serving bowls (I prefer this soup in oversized cappuccino mugs) and serve with fresh salad and/or warm whole wheat rolls for a healthy and hearty meal.
