A simple but savory slow-cooker Italian soup. Gluten-free made with your favorite fresh chopped vegetables, hearty beans, and tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Perfect for those following the Paleo and Whole30 diet.
Mediterranean Diet
When I first went gluten-free, lunch was the hardest meal for me. I am not a huge fan of overly priced, not the best tasting, gluten-free bread; so sandwiches are not an option for me. I had been looking for healthier ways to make meals for my family and read a lot about the Mediterranean diet.
The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods that people used to eat in countries like Italy and Greece back in the 1960’s. After reading about the diet and its benefits, I created this recipe for Slow Cooker Italian Vegetable Soup.
Gluten-Free Vegetable Soup
This recipe is super simple and if you put it in your Crock-Pot first thing in the morning, you will have this savory vegetable soup by lunch.
This gluten-free soup is super easy to make. You just chop up your favorite vegetables, add canned tomatoes, beans, and the seasonings. You are all set!
Making vegetable soup in a crockpot does not get any simpler. Even my kids like this vegetable soup, especially if I add gluten-free pasta to it.

My sister made this and it is so good! Even her kids liked it. I am making it today and hopefully I got the right amount of veggies. My crockpot is filled up, but the baby will cook down.
