I came across this recipe here, on the Jamie Cooks It Up site. It looked easy, family friendly, and (of course, my fave) was made for the crock pot!
I did change the directions, the original called for frozen meatballs (so feel free to use if you would like) I preferred to make my own.
My daughter's friend was going through a rough time the other day and so she decided to invite her over. Get out of the house, change of scenery, laughter with friends...you know what she was aiming for.
This soup happened to already be in the pot cooking away for dinner.
It seemed like it was "meant to be". Broken hearts need comfort...what better comfort than a big bowl of delicious homemade soup with people who love you?
Now that is good for the soul!
I will add, even with the four of us eating this..and then me taking it to work for lunches, there was still a LOT left. This does freeze well, which means another meal is ready to go!
If you decide to put your pasta in the crock to cook, it will get mushy. It will soak up most of your broth.
Your call, but consider this a public service announcement!
