SLOW-COOKER MINESTRONE
There's nothing quite like the comfort of warm homemade soup, and it's even better when your slow cooker does most of the work for you! This slow-cooker minestrone is easy to put together but has all the flavor of a high-effort dish. -Erin Raatjes, New Lenox, Illinois

SLOW COOKER MINESTRONE SOUP WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PESTO
I always thought Minestrone soup was kind of boring, but then I added Italian sausage. And a spoonful of pesto. And topped it with parmesan. This soup is PACKED and I love it! Classic minestrone flavors, but enhanced. And tons of veggies so you feel like you're on top of your life. Did I mention you can make it in the slow cooker?

Steps:
- In a large soup pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium to medium-high heat. Drain the fat.
- Meanwhile, chop the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic.
- Add the tomato paste, onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and dried oregano.
- Saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the can of Italian tomatoes and chicken broth. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30-45 minutes, until all the carrots are tender.
- Add both cans of beans, the zucchini, yellow squash, and dry pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer another 10 minutes, until the pasta is cooked.
- At this point, you can add another cup or two of chicken broth, if you feel like it's not "soupy" enough.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the baby spinach. I like to roughly chop mine so it's easier to eat, but you don't have to!
- Wait about 5 minutes for the spinach to wilt, and then it's ready to serve. Season with salt and pepper. (I actually didn't add any! Sign of a killer soup, right?)
- Garnish each bowl with a teaspoon of pesto and a few grates of Parmesan cheese.

MINESTRONE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
I make this zippy, satisfying soup all the time, and it's my dad's favorite. The recipe makes a lot, and I have found that it freezes well and tastes just as great reheated. -Linda Reis Salem, Oregon
