Potato Minestrone

By: Paula Zsiray

"Let the aroma of this savory soup waft through your home while you get ready for the holidays. 'I only have to slice some bread and prepare a salad to have dinner ready,' writes Paula Zsiray of Logan Utah. 'For a thicker soup, mash half of the garbanzo beans before adding them to the slow cooker.'"
