Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Pasta Fagioli

It's been a while since I have posted a recipe! So here's my try at a 21 Day Fix Approved soup!

I made my own version of pasta fagioli. I was quite impressed by how good the soup turned out, considering I had to BS some of it. You will also notice I don't use the traditional pasta that is required in this recipe. That's because my grocery store doesn't have it. So brown rice pasta will have to do!

Try it yourself and let me know what you think!!
