Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

This one I loved as it covers lunch and dinner for a few days and it’s so easy. For me, Elaine, working from home and having a busy schedule the slow cooker is such a lifesaver. This one you can do in the morning or on your lunch break and it’s pretty much ready for dinner time. We hope you like it.
