Can this soup be made in a crock pot? I really cannot afford a stock pot/
Hi Betty ..I have never made this in a slow cooker but I am sure you could. I recommend browning your meat and adding the other ingredients except the pasta . I wouldn’t had the pasta until about an hour before serving it. If you make this in the slow cooker share your results, I am just curious.
How much Italian Seasoning is to be added?
Hi Ann it is 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
