This looks like it might be tricky or time consuming because of the long list of ingredients, but I promise it is so easy. You will have some chopping of vegetables, but everything else is dumped in the Crock Pot, and a lot of the ingredients are dried herbs and things you probably already have in your pantry. This soup was so filling and delicious. The perfect minestrone soup!
