Chili Minestrone Soup Crock Pot
This is somewhere between a chili and a minestrone... It is spicy, so i warn you to adjust the seasonings and/or the tomatoes and beans used accordingly if you don't want that! i did not put any pasta in this but you can if you wish at the end of cooking. this is good with homemade croutons and a sprinkling of cheese on top, or with a grilled cheese sandwich, or by itself.
Steps
Put everything in a 4 quart or larger slow cooker.
Cook on low for at least 6 hours.
We like our soups very long simmered , so i let this go a good 8-10 hours', i don't think you can overcook it"]".
Ingredients
