Healthy Slow Cooker Recipe: Quinoa Minestrone Soup 

I love this Prego Farmers’ Market® Roasted Garlic sauce!  Not only is it great for pasta, but it made this soup even easier to make and more delicious.  As kids I know we all had Prego sauce, and I so appreciate their new focus to bring the farmers market to the table.  This new sauce is made from tomatoes picked at their peak of ripeness, insuring the best taste possible.  Prego Farmers’ Market® is also much simpler- only vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, black pepper and oregano.  I can’t wait for you to try this delicious recipe- let me know how you and your family love it!

    I’m so happy for the cooler weather. It’s hard to pull out the slow cooker for a hearty homemade soup when it’s 80 degrees out!

  13. Charlotte says

    I love the look of this soup and I don’t think I have ever tried adding quinoa before either! I prefer soup with a substance, watery soup is the worst!

  17. Carolyn says

    November 15, 2016 at 2:42 pm

    That soup looks so hearty and delicious even though it is vegetarian. Great on a colder day. I would add lime like the previous commenter too. 🙂

    I love the new Prego sauces! They are so good! I used mine for chicken cacciatore but using it in a soup is a great idea!

  28. Rachel Catherine says

    November 16, 2016 at 1:58 pm

    Wow! That looks so good! I’m sure it tastes even better. It’s the perfect soup to have during the winter, it’s comforting and warm!

  31. stacey says

    November 17, 2016 at 2:34 pm

    this is a recipe that my family would love. We really enjoy quinoa fixed all kinds of ways. Pinning for later!

  32. Liz Herring says

    November 18, 2016 at 4:07 pm

    The recipe says this needs to cook for 4 hours, but the cook time at the top says 6 hours & that prep time accounts for only 15 minutes. I’d like to put this together Monday morning to take to work for a Thanksgiving potluck, but if the real cook time is 6 hours I’ll need to start it about 4 a.m., take it to work and let it finish cooking there. But, if it cooks for 4 hours I can wait to plug it in until after arriving at work.

  33. Maribeth says

    November 30, 2016 at 3:43 pm

    You can’t call this Minestroni because it must have all 5 essential ingredients. These may vary to suit your taste. They are 1) pasta 2) green leafy veg 3) aromatic veg 4) beans 5) root veg. It only has the aromatic and root veg.

    • Maribeth says

      November 30, 2016 at 3:50 pm

      Should have said it has 3 out of 5 with the beans
