One Pot Minestrone Soup

Posted February 28, 2023 by Prairie Wife -

This one-pot Minestrone Soup makes me smile because it looks SO pretty in a bowl.

It’s also filling, healthy, and tastes terrific! I love that you can adjust this recipe based on what you have around the house. Add in zucchini or leave out the kidney beans based on your family’s specific tastes…the options are endless.

This recipe has Italian sausage and uses Beef broth, but you can easily make it vegetarian by leaving out the sausage and using Vegetable Broth instead.

Make this Minestrone Soup in the crockpot by quickly cooking the Italian sausage and then combining all the ingredients EXCEPT the pasta.  Add the pasta 30 minutes before serving the soup.
