The Grama’s Minestrone Soup Recipe is a recipe my grandmother used to make on the stovetop...I adapted it to the slow cooker.
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
1/4 c. zesty Italian salad dressing
1 c. onion, chopped
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1/2 c. carrot, peeled and chopped
14-1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes
15-1/2 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 14-oz. cans vegetable broth
3 c. water
1 t. Italian seasoning
12-oz. pkg. small shell pasta, uncooked and divided
Method:
Combine all ingredients except pasta in a slow cooker; mix well.
Cover and cook on low setting for 8 hours. Measure out 1-1/2 cups pasta, reserving the rest for another recipe.
Stir uncooked pasta into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high setting for an additional 30 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
