  3. I love the inclusion of leeks! I make a similar minestrone, on the stovetop, but I’m definitely going to try it in the slow cooker now!

  4. Can I freeze this before I cook and then do the 4-6 hours after its been frozen? Would I just throw all ingredients in a bag un cooked?

    1. Hi Brandie, you could absolutely freeze it before cooking. Just throw it into a gallon freezer bag and you will be good to go!
