Ingredients

  • 1 onion small, small dice
  • 2 celery stalks small dice
  • 2 carrots peeled and small dice
  • 28 ounces diced tomato
  • 3 garlic cloves sliced
  • 10 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cans cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • salt
  • pepper
  • small pasta
  • elbows

Method

  • Start by prepping all your veggies and getting everything diced.
  • Place everything into the slow cooker, set to low for 6 hours. For the last hour/ hour and a half I switch it to high to finish off. By the end of the 6 hours the color will have deepened and the veggies will be perfectly tender.
  • I add the cooked pasta to the individual bowls then pour the soup over top. If you add the pasta directly to the pot it will turn to mush.
