Meatball Minestrone Soup

I LOVE soup. And when it is made in the slow cooker .... EVEN BETTER! I got from Jamie Cook's It Up! Her blog is great BTW. This soup was so delicious! I ate ALL the leftovers and didn't freeze any of it. This might be one of my new favorite soups! And it is fairly healthy and makes my little one eat more vegetables.
