Healthy Slow Cooker Minestrone
This slow cooker minestrone is hands down one of the easiest soups I’ve made! Using the slow cooker is a huge time-saver plus you can pretty much add in any seasonal veggies you have on hand. The pasta makes this a hearty dish which is satisfying and perfect for pairing with a fresh salad!
