Made a really yummy and super easy low-sodium vegetable soup in the crock pot last night and wanted to share the recipe (that I got from my sister). I'm guessing there are variations on this out there all over the place, but don't see the harm in sharing one more! Enjoy!!

10 oz spinach, baby, washed
2 medium carrot(s), chopped
2 medium stalk celery, chopped
1 large onion(s), chopped
1 clove garlic clove(s), minced
4 cup vegetable broth, low-sodium
28 oz diced tomatoes, no salt
1 can kidney beans
1 can garbanzo beans (drained)
2 leaf bay leaf
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours. Remove bay leaves, stir and serve. Yields about eight 1.5 cup servings.

As prepared last night (using exact weights for the carrots, celery and onion) each serving of the batch that I made contains:

    Nice, thanks for reminding me. It's basically a vegetarian minestroni without any added pasta. Truly delicious flavor, and all of those beans, yum!

    This soup (minus the beans) is already in the myfitnesspal database, as it is a Weight Watchers recipe. Just search for "weight watchers tomato spinach soup"

    I make a pot of this each week for lunches, but I leave out the beans :)
