A simple satisfying slow cooker pasta soup with mushrooms and peas that I modified from Twelve Months of Monastery Soups, one of my favorite soup cookbooks.
½cupsmall soup pasta (orzo, shells, alphabets, etc.)
Sprinkle dried marjoram and grated Parmesan as garnish (if desired)
Instructions
Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 2-Quart.
In a medium bowl, stir together the onion, garlic and olive oil. Microwave, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker.
Add the mushrooms, broth, wine, bay leaf, thyme, and Italian seasoning.
Cover and cook on LOW 2 to 3 hours until mushrooms are tender. Add the peas and pasta and cook until pasta is tender 10 to 20 minutes more.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve warm, garnished with grated parmesan.
Recipe Notes
To make this slow cooker pasta soup work for Simply Filling, replace the wine with another ½ cup of vegetable broth and use whole wheat pasta.Serving size: 1 cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.3*SmartPoints (Green plan)3*SmartPoints (Blue plan)1*SmartPoints (Purple plan)3*PointsPlus (Old plan)
