Sis's Veggie Minestrone

This is a vegetarian meal that is healthy and great on a cold winter night

Prep: 10 min. Total: 12 hours.

4 Cups Vegetable Broth
4 Cups Tomato Juice
1 Tablespoon Dried Basil (I grow my own herbs but you can find these in the spice section of your store)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt (I use sea salt to cook with)
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
3 Medium Carrots Home-Grown
3 Medium Celery Stalks, chopped
2 Medium Onions, chopped
1 Cup Fresh Mushrooms, sliced
3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
28 Ounces Diced Tomatoes, do not drain (I also grow tomatoes so most all of ingredients come from my garden)
1 1/2 Cups Uncooked Pasta (I like Rotini)

Mix all Ingredients in slow cooker- except for pasta and cheese. Cover and cook on Low setting 8 to 9 hours or until veggies are tender. Stir in pasta. Cook on high for 30 minutes or until pasta is done. Sprinkle each dish with Parmesan cheese.
