Minestrone Soup

I love allrecipes.com, I have found many great recipes that are quick, easy and healthy too. I just made some minestrone soup last night and it was yummy!
I found this at allrecipes.com but I altered it a little bit, so here is my version of minestrone soup: feeds 3-4


INGREDIENTS

* 24 oz. chicken broth (I used some homemade broth)
* 1 can (14.5 oz.)diced stewed tomatoes
* 1/2 to 1 can(14.5) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
* 1 can (15 ounce) garbanzo beans (chickpeas) or pinto beans
* 1 cup frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, thawed (I didn't add the potatoes, I cooked brown rice separately and then when I served the soup I put some rice in the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup over it).
* 1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
* 1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
* 1/2 teaspoon salt(i used celery salt, either works)
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder(i used real garlic, crushed)
* 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
* 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
* 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed (I didn't add peas, but I chopped up a whole carrot and added that instead)


DIRECTIONS

1. In a slow cooker, combine the first 13 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

This soup is awesome because you can add whatever other veggies you have on hand. I also sprinkled some shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Along with the soup we had homemade biscuits.
