1.	Mix all ingredients except pasta and cheese in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker.
2.	Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until vegetables are tender.
3.	Stir in pasta. Cover and cook on high heat setting 15 to 20 minutes or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle each serving with cheese. Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)

Serve With

Minestrone means "big soup", and this big soup needs only thick slices of a whole-grain bread to make a big meal.

Substitution

Kids will love the little corkscrew rotini pasta in this vegetable-packed soup, but any small pasta works just as well.
