Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) bag italian frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (12 ounce) can great dry northern white beans or 1 (12 ounce) can any canned beans
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 1⁄2 cups rotini pasta or 1 1⁄2 cups elbow macaroni
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 small bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- sugar
- water, to thin if necessary
Directions
- Place all ingredients in crockpot except sugar, pasta and extra water that may or may not be needed to thin the soup.
- Cook on low 12 hours. This can be ready sooner but, again for depth of flavor, I cook mine 12 hours. I put it together a few hours before bedtime and adjust taste in the morning.
- After the soup has gotten hot, taste and add sugar to your preference.
- 1 hour before serving add the pasta. You can also cook the pasta seperately to just under al dente and add to the pot 20-30 minutes before serving.
- Top with parmesan cheese if desired and serve piping hot.
