This was so easy and delicious as well! I threw it all (except the cheese) in the crockpot and used a can of Italian stewed tomatoes instead of crushed and it turned out great! My new go-to minestrone recipe...will definately make it again with different veggies...I think it could take just about anything. Thanks!

Loved this recipe! So simple and quick! I used boullioun as we didn't have stock and it turned out great (although a little salty). I added kidney beans as well as some celery. YUM! Served w/ crusty bread = just perfect! Thanks for sharing!

Very good - I have been eating lunch all week on this. I only had one can of beef broth so used a can of mixed vegetables, undrained with it, and used only one clove of garlic (personal preference.) Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly.

This was so easy to put together and great for a take to work lunch. I used homemade beef stock and the flavor was really incredible. Freezes and reheats well, too. Thanks for posting, KelBel.
