Minestrone Soup (Crock Pot) image

Both my husband and I LOVE this minestrone soup. It's the only one I'll make! It's a very healthy soup with a wonderful tasting broth. You can leave out the ham if you wish (to make it meatless). It freezes well! I love that I can start this early in the day and forget about it. It's perfect served with some nice crusty bread. Enjoy!

This soup is also great for freezing. I like to make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions so that I can have it on hand for a quick and easy meal.
