Tips & Techniques

  • Ingredient Info

    Acidic ingredients such as tomatoes and vegetable juice keep vegetables from softening too much during all-day simmering. A garnish of bright green pesto freshens each serving of long-cooked soup.

  • Ingredient Substitution

    Great northern beans can be used in place of the cannellini beans. The can sizes will vary but, in this soup, those differences won't matter.

  • Kitchen Tip

    Don't be fooled into adding more pasta; 1/2 cup looks skimpy when you stir it in, but as it cooks it swells into the right proportion for the soup.

Ingredients

  • 2  (19-oz.) cans cannellini beans, drained
  • 1  (1-lb.) pkg. Green Giant® Frozen Mixed Vegetables
  • 1  (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained
  • 1  (12-oz.) bottle vegetable juice cocktail
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1  cup water
  • 1 1/2  oz. (1/2 cup) uncooked penne or mostaccioli (tube-shaped pasta)
  • 1/4  cup purchased pesto

Directions

  1. 1In 3 to 4-quart slow cooker, combine all ingredients except penne and pesto; mix well.
  2. 2Cover; cook on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
  3. 3About 20 minutes before serving, stir penne into soup. Increase heat setting to High; cover and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until penne is tender.
  4. 4To serve, top individual servings with 2 teaspoons pesto.
