Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef browned, lean
  • 2 carrot peeled and diced
  • 3 celery sliced, stalks
  • 1 onion diced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cans beef broth 14.5-ounce each
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 15 ounces cannellini beans drained, white
  • 15 ounces Kidney Beans dark red, drained
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta uncooked

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef and drain off the fat.
  2. Add the cooked ground beef, carrots, celery, onion, tomatoes, beef broth, seasoning, cannellini beans, and kidney beans to your slow cooker.
  3. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
  4. 30 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked pasta, cover, and cook for 30 minutes or until tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Don't skip browning the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker. You can brown the meat the night before you plan to make the soup and refrigerate it until it is time to add everything to the slow cooker.
  • Cut your carrots, celery, and onion into evenly sized-pieces so they cook at the same rate. 
  • Be sure to drain and rinse your canned beans before adding them to the soup. Rinsing helps remove any excess salt or starchy liquid that can make the soup too thick or salty.
  • Stir in the pasta only in the last 30 minutes of cooking so it has a nice al dente texture.
  • You can make the recipe your own by adding extra veggies, swapping out the beans, or using a different type of pasta.
