This soup was created to accommodate a few of my dinner guests who were vegetarians. It was so good, we all enjoyed it. This can also be cooked on the stove for two hours at a low simmer. —Donna Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each ) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 carton (32 ounces) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup uncooked small pasta shells
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

  1. In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 9 ingredients. Add tomatoes and beans; pour in broth. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are tender, 4-6 hours.

Test Kitchen Tips
  • To quickly peel fresh garlic, gently crush the clove with the flat side of a large knife blade to loosen the peel. If you don’t have a large knife, you can crush the garlic with a small can.
  • You can convert slow cooker recipes to fit in almost any size crock—here's a helpful chart.
