Hearty White Bean Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I live in Texas and yesterday a cold front blew in making it a perfect time for a Hearty White Bean Soup.  We have been enjoying quite a mild fall season.

The onset of this cold front prompted me to make this white bean soup in the slow cooker. It was very easy and warmed up me right up.

I love crock pot meals because you can throw everything in and walk away.  This crock pot soup is no exception.  It will fill your house with some pretty mouth watering aromas!

This is the perfect soup for a day spent in your pj’s relaxing and staying in from the cold outdoors.

If you are a visual person, I created this short video on how to make this soup. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Recipe Notes

The longer you can let it cook, the better. I would suggest waiting to salt the soup after everything has had a chance to cook. If you salt a soup too early, you run the risk of it being too salty as some of the liquid inevitably boils off. Enjoy!

  1. Is a Bay Leaf necessary? I don't ever have that on hand so I"m wondering if I can just leave it out or if there is something else I can put in there instead.
