Ingredients

20 oz. Hurst's Hambeens 15 Bean Soup mix, sorted and rinsed
1 small onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 oz. green beans, trimmed and halved
3 bay leaves
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried thyme
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 ½ tsp. salt, to taste
1 tsp. black pepper, to taste
64 oz. vegetable broth
ADD LATER 28 oz. can diced tomatoes with juices
ADD LATER 1 1/2 cups medium shell pasta, (cooked according to package directions)

Cooking Directions

Place the beans in a colander, sort out any debris and discard. Rinse the beans and add them to the slow cooker. No presoaking is necessary. Do not use the ham flavor packet at this time.
Add the onions, celery, carrots, green beans, garlic, seasonings (not the ham flavor packet), and broth to the slow cooker.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 6 hours.
When the cooking time is up, remove the bay leaves and stir in the ham flavor packet, tomatoes with their juices, and the cooked pasta.
Keep warm until ready to serve

Tips

Undercook pasta by at least a minute if you’re going to mix all of it into the soup and not serve immediately or going to travel with the dish.
If you anticipate leftovers, instead of adding the pasta to the crockpot, add between 1/4 to 1/3 cup of pasta into individual bowls, then ladle in the soup. The pasta and beans will continue to absorb the liquid.
For any leftovers, remove as much of the broth as possible and store it separately to prevent it all being absorbed.
To thicken the broth, add 2-4 tablespoons of tomato paste, or until it has reached the desired consistency.
