Slow Cooker Ratatouille Soup

September 16, 2014September 17, 2014 Melissa King 64 Comments

I have a new slow cooker recipe for you! This time it’s slow cooker ratatouille soup. One can never have too many soup recipes right? Especially when they are healthy soup recipes. Even better if they are slow cooker recipes. This slow cooker ratatouille soup will not disappoint. It’s loaded with flavor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

If you wanted to add more protein to this soup, I could see white beans or kidney beans going real well in here. This soup is great on it’s own though. Plus the house will smell amazing! Unlike most soup recipes, this one contains no broth. Most of the vegetables release so much water in the cooking process, that there was no need for broth. This recipes makes a very large amount of soup. It’s quite budget friendly. I store mine in serving sized containers in the freezer for easy meals on those busy days.

Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

Mushrooms and spinach are two of my favorite vegetables. They go so well in this creamy mushroom and spinach pasta. This is a healthy meal that doesn’t take very long to make at all. I used brown rice pasta in this creamy mushroom and spinach pasta to keep it gluten free. You can probably use regular pasta as well if you have no issues with gluten. If you also enjoy spinach and mushrooms together, you may also like this recipe.

I used full fat coconut milk in the can to give this pasta a creamy texture and taste. Not only does the coconut add to the taste, but the richness of it will keep you satisfied after only a small amount. This creamy mushroom and spinach pasta is more heavy on the vegetables than it is on the pasta. If you are grain free, you may also be able to make this dish with zucchini noodles.

I have been on a major sun dried tomato kick lately. This recipe for quinoa, kale and sun dried tomatoes is my latest creation. This quinoa, kale and sun dried tomato recipe is very easy to make too! You can never have too many quinoa recipes right? Especially when they are healthy quinoa recipes. 🙂

I often will make a large batch of quinoa at one time. Then I stick half in the fridge and half in the freezer. That way, I always have some on hand to add to meals. My husband has been trying to eat less and less grains, so we have been eating a lot more quinoa than rice these days. I hope you enjoy quinoa, kale and sun dried tomatoes recipe. One more thing. Have you ever tried massaged kale? OMG it is life changing! I always though kale was gross until I learned to massage it. I made this short video with my daughter to show you how.

You can definitely use massaged kale in this recipe instead of baby kale. Either way would be great.
