Italian Crockpot Two Bean Chili Soup

Italian Crockpot Two Bean Chili Soup, a delicious healthy slow cooker recipe. The perfect comfort food dinner.

It has taken me forever, but I finally found a crock pot/slow cooker. I can remember my sister making a delicious beef stew with hers and loving the idea that you just fill it up and it does all the work.

I have a chili recipe that I have been making for years. A recipe from a friend of my Mom’s. I decided to give it a little Italian flare and it has become one of many of our Favourite Soups.

I used cannellini beans and Borlotti beans, I added a chopped onion, carrots and celery, a can of chopped San Marzano tomatoes (or chop your own), two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce ,  and some wonderful hot pepper flakes. I also added more liquid, a couple of cups of water and then I let it cook on low for 5-6 hours. The aroma was amazing.

I have to say one of my favourite comfort foods is soup, I adore soup, and this Italian Crockpot Two Bean Chili Soup is one of our favourites.

Italian Crockpot Two Bean Chili Soup

**For the Cannellini and Borlotti beans if you prefer you can always use dried beans, but remember to do an overnight soak and drain and rinse. If you use dried add both beans to pot from the beginning of cooking time.
