I tried this using 1 c. of dried quinoa instead of pasta. It made a wonderful hearty stew! (I can only fit 1 can of beans and 1-2 cups of broth in my crockpot.) This recipe is a keeper in my house. Thanks again!

Scrumptious! Like the previous commenter, my crockpot wasn’t big enough for the full quantity of this recipe. I filled it with everything except the liquids and pasta and then added broth right up to the lip. It’s my general preference to use less broth than most recipes call for because my husband likes the heartiest of hearty soups. We came home to a heavenly aroma in the house! I dumped the crockpot contents into a pot so I could add the pasta and simmer until cooked. So delicious! I’ve switched from regular Italian sausage to the poultry sausage available at Wegmans. It tastes just the same, but has fewer calories. Plus, they sell it in patties so there’s no need to squeeze raw meat out of the casing. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This soup is delicious!!! I did not have a large enough crockpot, so I used an enamel coated cast iron dutch oven and made it stovetop. Would not change a thing.
