I want to try this crockpot minestrone however, I am leary of Tomato Juice since it is high in salt and I have to watch my salt intake. Any suggestions?? Maybe they make tomato Juice low sodium?
YES Deb! I am the same way. We try to watch our salt intake as well. Our grocery store sells a low sodium V8 and also a low sodium tomato juice. I hope you can also find some at your store 🙂
Thanks Corey — I’ll look in store. Which do u use V8 or Tomato Juice? I do find some of the low sodium chicken broths are not that low sodium – but Kitchen Basics makes a no salt one.
I personally prefer the V8. 🙂 But both will taste great!
Deb, Just a suggestion. Costco sells the low sodium cans of v8 juice 🙂
TY… No costco here but I’ll find something. I totally forgot about this recipe!! LOL its on my list though!
I was wondering if you cook on low for 6-8hrs or on high for 3-4hrs? Which way is best? And after cooking then adding the rest on high for 10-15 min, I was wondering if adding kale or spinach would be an ok idea. I also have a ninja slow cooker so I’m not sure how long to cook. Thanks.
I made the soup it came out very good. As Monica mentioned seasoning — my husband said the same thing! LOL I figured it was the bay leaf he had it in his bowl perhaps ?? I used V8 juice low sodium. I did not use potato instead used cut up zucchini that i added toward the end, and had pasta boiled already… I would make this soup again. It is good and healthy too!!
This was a hit! I got this off Pinterest. I followed the directions exactly and it turned out great. My husband was full after one bowl from all the big veggies- even though he always wants meat in his food! It’s a little thin on the broth side, I think I will add a little more juice and take a little water out. We loved it. Thank you!
I can’t wait to make this! Have you ever froze leftovers? Wondering if you left anything out to freeze then add when heating again. Thanks! Xo
I have frozen leftovers Jess 🙂 I would leave out the noodles if you are going to freeze and just add them as you eat it 🙂
