This Skinny Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup is the perfect way
to warm your tummy...without adding inches to it!
I love Minestrone. My high school pal's dad owned an Italian restaurant within walking distance of our school that we frequented back in those days. I always had the Minetrone Soup {plus, like twelve breadsticks...God bless a high schooler's metabolism}. Their restaurant closed a few years later and I was left scouring my mom's red & white checked cookbooks for a good Minestrone Soup recipe because I wasn't through with my Minestrone obsession {we're talking pre-Pinterest, pre-Google days, people...it was borderline archaic}. After perfecting my own little recipe {and my hair flip...ahem, I was the queen of the hair flip and collar pop in the 90s. It was scary, really.}, I ate it all the ding-dang time. Since starting my healthy plan {I really just want to type diet, y'all...but I've been on it for 18 months, so surely we all know I'm committed by now, right?}, I've missed good ol' Minestrone and started working on a skinnier version. Check out my lightened up version of this classic below...it's easy to throw it all in the slow cooker and walk away.
