INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2″ cubes
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or until veggies are tender. Add a tablespoon of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, if desired.
  • To make this even more of a Superfood Soup, add 2 cups coarsely chopped kale the last 5 minutes of cooking, or until wilted.
