A HEARTY AND BRIGHT SLOW COOKER SOUP RECIPE

Soup is seriously good stuff. Whether it’s a silky Tomato soup with basil – or a fiery Korean seafood noodle soup – it’s just the kind of comfort food that fortifies both body and mind.

And we love using slow cookers when making soup. There’s a certain set-it-and-forget-it aspect to using a slow cooker that minimizes tasks in the kitchen, while still delivering maximized flavor.

This bright and savory Tuscan white bean soup won’t require you to reinvent the wheel in your home kitchen – and is loaded with Mediterranean flavors.

Onions, carrots and kale impart tons of veggie freshness – and we’re using quinoa for a light yet hearty boost. 

Now, as far as the beans are concerned, you can use chickpeas or cannellini beans. Your choice. They both work well in this white bean soup recipe.

The secret weapon in this recipe is lemon juice. It delivers a light, breezy tartness in contrast to the savory chicken broth. Btw… if you want to make this a vegan soup recipe, simply swap the chicken broth with vegetable broth – and omit the Parmesan cheese. Easy!

HOW TO MAKE TUSCAN WHITE BEAN SOUP IN A RICE COOKER

Simply load the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker with all of your soup ingredients (EXCEPT the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese).

Then stir well, close the lid, select the Slow Cook setting for 50 minutes and press the Start button.

Once the cooking cycle has finished, open the lid, add your Parmesan and lemon juice, stir and serve.
