Minestrone Soup (Slow Cooker Recipe)

Minestrone Soup.  I just love soups.  If you have been reading this blog for awhile now, then I am sure you have realized that.  This slow cooker soup is my latest recipe.

I also created a post recently including 6 Healthy and Filling Soups.  I will probably have to add this slow cooker minestrone to it.

This healthy and hearty soup is hearty and filling and it was perfect for the chilly day we had inTexas yesterday.  Soups are great because they are very budget friendly.  They also freeze well, so soups are great for batch cooking.
