Saturday’s Soup: 9 Can Vegetable Soup

Affiliate Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I am a soup snob. There, I’ve said it and it is true. I don’t like soup out of a can.  I never use to even eat soup, unless I made it myself. (Snob) Not Campbells, Progresso, just-like-home made, none of it.
Then one day I received a newsletter from my health insurance carrier.  Inside the newsletter was a recipe for 9 Can Vegetable Soup with the advertisement: Try this simple and delicious vegetable soup

I scanned the list of “cans” and wasn’t interested until I saw this nutritional info.

In my book those stats make for a pretty healthy main dish. I also started thinking about the convenience of keeping these 9 cans on the pantry shelf and having a meal ready in the flash of a can opener!  During the holidays — after a long day at work, a super long day shopping, an ever-so-late dinner after picking up the kids, attending at least one ball game on the way home and still having homework to do.  These 9 cans can sit on the pantry shelf and are easily dumped into the crock pot in the dark of the early morning.   Oh, but what about the taste? That is after all, MY priority.

I bought the cans, opened them up (in about 5 minutes) and placed them in my crock pot.  I cooked the soup on low for 8 hours.  Oh my gosh, what a surprise! You are going to have to just trust me that this soup will rival any homemade.  Buy the cans, sit them on the shelf — then make this soon!  You won’t be sorry.

    • Buy the crock pot! Veggie with beef or veggie without — either way it is good! 🙂 I made it the first time without and the next time with. I am already hooked on this soup 🙂 BTW – thanks for stopping by!

    • Hi, I just came upon your soup recipe. The one question I have and I know the recipe says to pour the “full contents” into the crockpot. What about the oily substance in the can of beans? The excess fluid in the diced tomatoes? Forgive me but i need to ask. Thank you. MPW

      • Great question! If beans have an oily substance, I usually pour it out and add water as needed. I also do the full contents of the diced tomatoes.
