Easy Crockpot Minestrone / Vegetable Soup

1. Evenly chop any raw veggies you have on hand (e.g., carrots, zucchini, celery) and place them in a crockpot.
2. Add in 2-3 cans of diced tomatoes and 1 can of drained beans (garbanzo or kidney beans work great).
3. Pour in vegetable broth until the veggies are covered and season generously with herbs (such as oregano, basil, and black pepper).
4. Cook on high until the veggies are tender. At the very end, stir in chopped kale and/or pasta (optional) for additional fiber, texture, and nutrients.
5. Serve with an extra sprinkle of pepper or grated Parmesan and enjoy!
