Minestrone Soup for your Crockpot

We love soup in this family!  I love how easy it usually is to throw together and how delicious it is after slow cooking it in the crockpot all day.

For this recipe, I love to make it in advance as a Freezer to Slow Cooker Meal.  That way I can take it from the freezer and drop it in the slow cooker on one of those busy days when I know it’s going to be hard to get dinner on the table!  You can find this recipe and many more in my Freezer to Slow Cook Subscription.
