Name: Meal Prep Soup Base
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 3 min
Ingredients: 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans; 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes; 2 medium onions, chopped; 3 carrot, (7-1/2")s carrots, peeled and chopped; 1 cup frozen chopped spinach; 3 stalks celery, chopped; 1 tablespoon salt; 1 tablespoon bouquet garni; 3 leaf (blank)s bay leaves; water to cover

I use this basic recipe as a base for Meal Prep Sunday: I make a large batch and eat it for lunch over the week. I add different spices to individual cups to vary the day's flavor. Ground chipotle or curry for heat, ginger or fresh herbs for aroma, etc.

Assemble cannellini beans, tomatoes, onions, carrots, spinach, celery, salt, bouquet garni, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Pour in enough water to cover. Cook on Low or High until carrots are tender and flavors meld, at least 3 hours. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature. Ladle portions into reusable containers and refrigerate.


Great base soup! I used lentils, Italian Seasoning, and about 6 cups of water. I accidentally let it run 4 hours on high, but it was fine.

Great overall soup base! The best part is adding different spices for every day of the week to change up the flavor profile. If you want noodles in your soup, break them up small enough that they "cook" in the time it takes to reheat the soup. I also recommend using veg or chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor. The possibilities here are endless.
