It’s been freezing here in Dallas. The perfect time to make this 3 Bean Vegetable Soup. This soup is easy to make, and budget friendly too!
I made mine in the Instant Pot, so it only took 30 minutes. Seriously! It’s the best gadget ever. I know not everyone has an instant pot, so I will write directions to make this is in the slow cooker as well.

This recipe is vegan and gluten free. It also freezes well, so feel free to do that. I like to freeze in serving sized containers, so I can just grab one when I need it.
