Soup Recipe...

Today I made Minestrone soup in the crock pot (with David's help too). It was very flavorful and great for a relaxing Sunday afternoon!

Zesty Minestrone

1/4 cup Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 cup chopped Onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (19 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14 oz each) vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups small shell macaroni, uncooked
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to make it:
Heat dressing in skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots and celery; cook 2-3min or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Pour into slow cooker. Add tomatoes, beans, broth, water, and Italian seasoning; stir. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6 hours (or high for 3 hours). Stir in uncooked macaroni (I added extra shells because David and I both love noodles); cook 10-15min or until macaroni is tender. Sprinkle with cheese just before serving and enjoy! Serves 4.
