Minestrone Soup

I made this soup in my crockpot, but it can be made on the stove the exact same way.  Just cook the veggies with the herbs in some olive oil before you add the beans and broth if you are using the stove.  For the crockpot, just throw everything in and leave it on low for 5 hours.  Add the pasta 20 minutes before you are ready to eat it 🙂
