SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE,WHITE BEAN AND PASTA SOUP
Pasta soup is great for any day or meal and when you add sausage and white beans this is a delicious comfort food meal. Serve this pasta soup with a sandwich or cornbread and your family and guests will be coming back for more. This soup is so good in fall, autumn, winter or anytime you want an easy crock pot or slow cooker recipe.
Pasta soup with white beans and sausage is pure comfort food.
1 pound breakfast pork sausage (You can use mild or hot. I used the mild)
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1/2 package Kroger baby carrots or 3 to 4 carrots cut in pieces
1 cup dried great northern beans
1/2 cup elbow macaroni or pasta shells
1 tablespoon black pepper
Salt to taste
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded (Optional)
Brown sausage and onion with basil and garlic in a skillet. Drain and pour into crock pot. Add all other ingredients except the pasta. Cook on low for seven to eight hours or high for 4 or 5 hours. About an hour before soup finishes cooking, add pasta. This could be made on top of the stove as well. Just cook in large pot until beans are tender. Then add pasta or shells about the last 20 minutes.
Serve with my cornbread muffins, quick peppery cheese bread, or sourdough bread. Makes about 3 quarts of soup. Enjoy!

Onion Tip: If you need to use only 1/2 an onion in a recipe, save the root half. It will keep longer.
