Thank you. This looks wonderful.

So excited to try this! My hubby loves minestrone(minus the spinach), but I think it will be awesome(w/said spinach). Learning to love my crock pot. Thanks!

I never thought of using V8 juice in a soup. Great idea!
Thanks for this recipe! As soon as I got your email (I subscribe!) I got out the crock pot. The soup was delicious and we’ve enjoyed it twice this weekend.
Am trying this tonight! Thanks so much! 🙂
OMG that soup was AMAZING. Minestrone soup is one of my all time favorites. I’ve emailed the recipe to all my friends. I just love anything that is quick and easy. I used canned potatoes instead just because I had them on hand and will probably use again just because it eliminates all the cutting of the potatoes, and the small shells pasta instead of ditalini. This is now going to be a regular dish in my house.
I’m going to try this tonight.
I was wondering if this is suitable for freezing? There is just me and my little one in the home so this would be far too much. Of course I could halve the ingredients but thought I’d ask incase anyone could advise me 🙂 thanks!
Yes, Naomi, you can totally freeze this soup!!! Hope you love it as much as we do!
I made this tonight and it was delicious and savory! My husband raved about it. I did double the pasta (and added a cup of V8 to compensate); I have three young children so I thought the extra pasta would make it a little more enticing for them. 🙂 I will definitely be making this again!
Awesome!! I am so glad everyone like this!! It is such a nice and cozy soup!!!
