Slow cooked minestrone

Tuesdays, like most nights, are crazy.  I had the slow cooked minestrone prepped and ready for dinner.  One problem, we never got to eat it.  My husband had to work late, the girls had dance, Jack had swimming, and I had to get the gray out of my hair!  I packed up the kids and their stuff, bought fast food and they ate in the car.

Now I have minestrone for lunch.  This recipe makes a lot.  I have some in my refrigerator, some in the freezer, and I gave some to my neighbor.
