This is a great slow cooker soup. It is both vegan and gluten free. For those who do not like tomato in their soup or find that acidic foods are giving them heartburn this recipe might be worth a try. For those who do not enjoy spinach you might be pleasantly surprised. This soup is a good source of iron and fibre. A great soup for any pregnant mama. Enjoy!
