Crockpot Minestrone Soup

1 small onion, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced 1” thick
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 15 oz cans kidney beans, drained
6 cups beef broth
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 t dried basil leaves
½ t. dried oregano leaves
½ t. salt
¼ t. pepper
2 cups cooked small pasta
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Combine all ingredients except macaroni and Parmesan cheese in the stoneware. Cover cook on Low 8 to 9 hours or on High 4 to 5 hours. Stir in macaroni. Serve sprinkled with cheese. I substitute 1-1/2 t. Italian seasoning for the basil and oregano.
