Minestroni soup - Slowcooker

Minestroni soup

300gm diced bacon
2 small potatos
2 celery stalks
2 carrots
1/2 onion (the onion was HUGE though
1 large can diced tomatoes
500g pasta (I used shells)
2 beef stock cubes
1 1/2 litres water
2 heaped teaspoons of minced garlic
Italian Herbs, Oregano and Parsley

Method:

Dice everything! Brown off onion and bacon (use a bit of olive oil). Dissolve 2 beef stock cubes in 1 1/2 litres of water (or use 1 1/2 litres of stock).
Chuck everything bar the pasta in the slow cooker and put on Auto for 9 hours. 15 mins before serving, cook off pasta and mix in with soup.

In hindsight I probably would have used less water, more garlic, and another stock cube (I've lessened the amount of water for the recipe above.add salt and pepper to taste at the end.
