+Modified from my crock pot cookbook
1 green bell pepper
2 stalks of celery
1/2 yellow onion
----chop these and sautee in a pan with about 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Cook until soft, or about as long as it takes you to assemble the rest of the ingredients.
2 small zucchinis
1 box (32 oz) of chicken broth
1 can of diced tomatoes with oregano, garlic and basil
1 can of navy beans (or 2 cans...), rinsed
1 tsp minced garlic
8 oz. frozen green beans
Add all of this to the crock pot and cook on low for about 5 1/2 hours.
When you are about 30 minutes from eating, toss in a box or container of tortellini. I threw in a box of cheese tortellini (7 oz), and then added some frozen, too. Also, toss in about 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil from your garden (about 15 big leaves).
I served this with cheesy biscuits. I think you could also throw in about 4 frozen chicken breasts and it would be great. YUM!
