MINESTRONE SOUP

Freshly made hearty soup filled with vegetables and flavored with simple herbs and spices. So easy and very tasty. If you have never attempted to make soup from scratch, start with this one. You can make this and enjoy lovely hot soup for several meals. I made a double batch and put some in the freezer.

Use whatever leftover meat and vegetables you have in your kitchen. I used about a cup of chopped ham, some carrots, celery, potato, cabbage, beans, peas and onion.

SPLIT PEA SOUP w/HAM

Put this easy recipe together in your slow cooker in the morning and come home to a rich, hearty soup at the end of your day. So easy and delicious! This recipe is a good way to use the leftovers from the baked ham you made for dinner. If you didn't bake a ham, just buy a slice of ham at the grocery store. Get a piece that has a bone. This recipe is almost fool proof and a good recipe for a beginner.
