Crockpot Pasta e Fagioli Soup

Pasta Fuh-jewel. Pasta Fah-gee-oh-lee. My English teacher mind can't handle the spelling.
Welcoming September with a hearty, HEALTHY, crockpot soup. I've taken a few things from a few different recipes and made it my own :)  Went with lean ground turkey and sausage for a flavor/fat balance.



Ingredients:


(Decided not to use the Hunt's tomato sauce, eliminate that)

1 tbs butter
1/2 white onion
4 large carrots, diced
4 stalked celery, diced

4 sweet Italian sausage links, casing removed
1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

1 small can kidney beans
1 small can Great white Northern beans
1 large can diced tomatoes, 1/2 of liquid drained
2 tbs tomato paste
1 quart Beef broth
12 oz chicken broth

1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
2 Bay leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 BIG Tablespoon crushed garlic-I love the kind in the squeeze tube!!


Saute your veggies and brown the meat, throw everything in the pot and put on low for 7 hours!

Honestly don't even need the pasta. But at the end, I'll cook a cup of Ditallini separately so it doesn't soak up all the broth and get mushy. Throw in the cooked pasta and VOILA!

InstantPot? You'd need a big one, and probably 15 minutes on "Stew" mode.

WW? The only foods in here with points are the pasta, sausage, and just barely the turkey. I'd estimate a 1 cup serving at 4 pts :)
