Notes
Expert Tips
- Prepare Vegetables - We keep diced onion and bell pepper in the freezer so it is easy to add to any recipe we like. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions. Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen.
- Pasta - We like to cook the pasta in the slow cooker in the broth. But you can also cook the pasta in a separate large pot. Then you can serve the pasta separately. This soup is even delicious without the pasta.
