Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup

It's getting to be that time of the year that I enjoy a good bowl of soup.  I love Casa Mia's Minestrone Soup and I know that there wasn't much to it so thought I would try this one out.  Even better this is a crock pot meal.

1/2 lb cubed chuck steak
1 can diced Italian tomatoes
1/2 can beans (I used red beans)
2 carrots diced
2 zucchini diced
1/4 onion diced
1/3 lb noodles (I used shells)
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
5 beef bouillon cubes
4 cups water

This is going to be really basic.  Drain water from beans.  Add everything EXCEPT zucchini and noodles to crock pot.  Set on low for 7 hours.  After 7 hours add zucchini and noodles.  Let cook for another hour or so until noodles are soft.  Serve and enjoy.  Casa Mia adds a dollop of pesto when serving.
