Crock Pot Minestrone Soup
When my mom came to visit she was just getting over being sick so I wanted to make her some soup, but wanted it to be ready when I got home because she would already be there and probably be hungry. I've seen a lot of crock pot chili recipes, but wanted something lighter. When I saw this recipe for Minestrone Soup, I knew it would be perfect. I didn't have vegetable juice, but did have some tomato juice so I used that instead and I think it turned out pretty good! Not perfect, but considering I spent all of 15 minutes chopping and putting it together, I'd say it was a success!
