Slow Cooker Navy Bean Soup

Because I adore soup in the winter months, I have another soup recipe for you today!

In fact, we eat soup at least once a week here at the Hill House when the weather is cool.

Soup fills up the tummy, is usually fairly frugal, feeds a crowd with leftovers, and is a great way to eat vegetables.

I just love it!

Today’s soup recipe is for a Navy Bean Soup that goes in your slow cooker. And it’s gluten-free! ::happy dances all around!::

It’s perfect for those cold, wintry nights!

A few notes:

♥ This soup fits perfectly if you eat the Trim Healthy Mama way, and makes a lovely E meal. I have much more luck with E meals when soup is involved. 😉 It goes beautifully with THM biscuits if you just can’t eat soup without a biscuit or cornbread. {This would be me.}

♥ If you just want gluten-free bread (you could care less about Trim Healthy Mama), I use Pamela’s Gluten-Free Baking and Pancake Mix. It is a totally melt-in-your-mouth piece of bread. And yes, I do buy it in the 4-pound bags. We go through it quickly.

♥ I often add 2-3 cups of diced, cooked chicken to this soup right when I dump everything into the slow cooker. My family likes meat, but it’s great with or without the chicken.
