Winters come with opportunity to get cozy and lazy with a bowl of warm soup in hand. How about a bowl of healthy, wholesome and delicious Minestrone Soup with Pasta? Crock-pot Minestrone Soup is my favorite vegetarian side-soup whenever we eat at Italian Restaurants. But at home, I often prefer to cook minestrone with pasta for a complete one pot dinner with some Italian country-style bread on the side - The best opportunity to snuggle with bowl of soup and cook nothing else.

Crockpot Minestrone Soup with Pasta

My slow cooked minestrone helps me get even more lazy. Just assemble and switch on the cooker. Soup will be ready low and slow in about 6 hrs. Come from work, just grab your favorite comfy seat at home and enjoy warm soup with crusty Italian bread.

A perfect week-night dinner idea!!
