Easy Italian Soup in the Slow Cooker

Easy Italian Soup in the Slow Cooker

This recipe comes from my church cookbook and was entered by my pastor's wife, Karen, originally. Her daughter, Amy, also provided the recipe for a later version of our church cookbook. Though I have adapted it a little, I so appreciate the original recipe and the dear ladies who shared it in the cookbook.

Thank you, Karen and Amy!

Jesus Christ has been my Savior since 1975. Robert, the wonderful man that God provided to love me has been my husband for 48 of those years. We have five grown children, with children of their own. Of course, that means that we have grandchildren - ten to be exact, and nine great-grandchildren with another one on the way. I have been a stay-at-home mom, sometimes helping to supplement the income from within the home. Now I am a stay-at-home grandmother. Jesus Christ has been my guide and keeper and I have found, in all the trials, heartbreaks and good times that He just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter as the years roll by. My future is secure and I look forward to eternity in the presence of my Creator, Redeemer and King.
