Freezer Meals Minestrone Soup

Here is another great freezer meal recipe to help you with your fall and winter meal planning. Freezer Meals Minestrone Soup is a wonderful soup recipe for those chilly fall and winter days when you need to knock the chill off.

Freezer Meals: Minestrone Soup recipe you can make in the crock pot or on the stove. Instructions for both cooking methods included via flouronmyface.com

Nothing warms my soul when it is cold outside more than a big bowl of homemade soup. Minestrone soup is one of my favorite soup recipes. Minestrone soup is made with beef stew meat, fiber rich garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes, zucchini and a bunch of spices that give this easy crock pot soup recipe all it's flavor.

Soup Spices

Spices are so important when it comes to seasoning homemade soup. Spices are what adds the flavor notes of the recipe you are making. Minestrone soup would just be a plain old beef soup recipe without the diced zucchini, thyme and parsley.

Menu Planning with easy Freezer Meals for the holidays

The holidays are fast approaching. This is a good time to start meal planning with freezer meals. If you make one or two freezer meals every week your freezer will be stocked full of easy meals for the busiest time of the year when getting  dinner on the table can be more difficult.

    This looks so yummy. One question, though. The title says this is a crock pot freezer meal, but the instructions are for the stove top. What are the cooking instructions for the crock pot? Thank you!
