1lb ground turkey, cooked (or sausage)
1 cup carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14.5oz oz) diced tomatoes with the juice
4 cups of chicken broth
1 jar (16.5oz) pasta sauce
2 tsp oregano
1 T Tabasco sauce
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14.5oz oz) diced tomatoes with the juice
4 cups of chicken broth
1 jar (16.5oz) pasta sauce
2 tsp oregano
1 T Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup dry pasta, to add at end of cooking time
Brown the meat on the stove top and drain well. Chop up the carrots and celery and place in crock pot. Add the rinsed beans, both cans of tomatoes, pasta sauce, and broth to crock pot. Add salt, pepper, oregano, and Tabasco sauce. Stir in your meat. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4. When the vegetables are tender, stir in the 1/2 cup of dry pasta. Cover and cook for another hour on low, or until the pasta is tender. It will swell quite a bit.
Tips-
Freeze extra as this makes a lot of minestrone.
Make the pasta separately to avoid mushy pasta
