Slow Cooker Minestrone {Olive Garden Copycat Recipe}

I know it’s almost summer, but soup is a staple in our house.  It’s an easy way to use up vegetables, or a simple fix when you haven’t been shopping and need to make something with pantry ingredients.  The list of ingredients for this recipe is a little long, but don’t let it scare you.  Most of them are spices and basic pantry items you probably already have on hand.  

The slow cooker makes this recipe even easier, as well as a great option for weekly meal prep.  Make a big batch at the beginning of the week and use it for packed lunches.  I like to store it in pint size mason jars, leaving a little room at the top to add an extra handful of spinach before I reheat it.  

If you’re a fan of Olive Garden soups, be sure to check out my healthy version of their Zuppa Toscana as well.
