Ingredients

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
3 cups water
2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cups celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried, minced onion
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups multi-grain rotini pasta, uncooked

Directions:

In a large slow cooker, mix together all ingredients except pasta. Cover and cook on low setting for 7 to 8 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in uncooked pasta. Turn slow cooker to high setting. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

Tip: Top bowls of soup with crunchy cheese toasts. Brush thin slices of French bread lightly with olive oil. Place on a broiler pan and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Turn over and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Broil another 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese melts. Yum!
