  • Total 8 hr 25 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 8 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from three 32-oz cartons) or 5 cans (14 oz each) vegetable broth
  • 1 package (16 to 20 oz) 15- or 16-dried bean soup mix (2 1/4 cups), sorted, rinsed
  • 4 medium carrots, chopped (2 cups)
  • 3 medium stalks celery, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained

Steps

  • 1
    In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix all ingredients except tomatoes.
  • 2
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
  • 3
    Stir in tomatoes. Increase heat setting to High; cover and cook about 15 minutes longer or until hot.

  • You can also use small amounts of various leftover dried beans you may have in your cupboard. Mix them together to make 2 1/4 cups of beans, and use them instead of purchasing a package of bean soup mix.
  • You can use either chicken or vegetable broth to prepare this great-tasting soup. If you are vegetarian, go ahead and use the vegetable broth. But if you're simply looking for a meatless soup, we prefer the richer flavor of chicken broth.
