Made this soup last night. It was the first thing I made in my new Crockpot Express and it turned out perfectly! Delicious!!

That is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Kelly says
This was a hearty delicious meal enjoyed on a cold winter day in Wisconsin. Nice thing about it is that it is very flexible. I didn’t have great northern beans, so I just skipped them. Didn’t measure broth, added in extra elbow mac (did not have the other type of recommended pasta). It was wonderful! Definitely will be making again and again! Thanks for the recipe.
Mom says
This is wonderful! I love the flexibility of this recipe. I don’t think you can go wrong. Thank you for letting us know about your experience.
Charlene says
Just made a couple of minor changes. We don’t care for ground turkey so used diced chicken. Added about 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Other than that, just listened to my 100% Italian husband to tell me how great this is. We love it! Thanks!
Mom says
I’m so glad your family loved it as much as we do.
Brenda says
I’ve made this 3 times! Very good indeed
Mom says
I’m so glad you like it!
Anne moore says
Does the macaroni swell a lot. I know well have left over and I don’t want mush the next day
Mom says
They do absorb a lot of the liquid but it tastes great reheated the next day.
Diana says
I made this for a luncheon today, I did add 3/4 cup of white cooking wine and a tsp of salt and the soup was a hit! Absolutely delicious ! Will make again and again!
