Best tasting Minestrone recipe Ever! Excellent flavor! Makes more than 8 1 cup servings. I got about 12 servings. Please note: this recipe requires a very large crock-pot. - 11/4/13

I just changed the tips to include the information for the cheese. You only add the hard rind of the Parmesan to the slow cooker to let it simmer. The cheese is grated and sprinkled on top just before serving.
