Easy recipe and my entire family loved it!!! I made it in a crockpot. Loads of flavor.

Our family LOVES this recipe. We've tried a couple of adaptations, but can't get any better than just following the recipe! The only thing we don't do is use the green beans. LOVE IT!

My husband & I loved this. The canned soups have too much salt for my taste so this was perfect. Added bread for a great winter meal. Will make again even though we live in the south!

I enjoy the Campbell's canned Minestrone, but this was even better. Very good and filling with a great flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
