"A favorite Italian soup for the crockpot. This is a flavorful and nutritious, easy and filling dinner. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and crusty Italian bread. Warning: this fills a 6 qt crockpot to the top!"

  1. This was fantastic! I halved the recipe because I have a small crock-pot (and there are only 2 of us anyway) and it fit in the pot quite nicely, with just enough room to bubble without spilling over. I used an Italian chicken sausage, replaced the fire-roasted tomatoes with a 1/2 cup of V8, and used orzo because the ditalini I thought was in the cupboard must have been used elsewhere. I cooked the orzo separately so that it wouldn't thicken the soup too much, then rinsed it in cold water and added it to the pot. It eventually absorbed a bit more liquid so that, by night 2, the soup had thickened into more of a stew-like consistency but it was still very good! I can't wait to make this again and try freezing it for lunches. Thanks!
