Delish and so easy! I made a couple of changes-to sneak in some veggies I doubled the carrots, added mushrooms with the pasta, and a couple handfuls of spinach at the end. I also had to use macaroni because I couldn't find the ditalini.

Next time I think I'll cook the beans separately so I can season them; whenever I got a big bite of beans, it was a little bland. And I want to use the parmesan rind to make the flavor more complex.

Beware, using all hot italian sausage makes the soup very spicy. Next time I'll use half hot and half sweet to make it toddler friendly.

Delicious, a definite make again. I used white Navy beans & added a little more pasta (gluten free and fresh mushrooms. Didn't have the Parmesan rind but did sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of each serving.

I am very happy with this recipe. It was easy to prep for the slow cooker, and the flavor of the dish was also very good. It had a depth of flavor from the thyme bouquet and the parm rind. Be sure to use both of these when making. I could not find Italian sausage links at my grocery store; I live in a small town, and we only have Wal-Mart and Kroger, neither of which had the links in the meat case when I was shopping. Instead, I used Johnsonville Brown Sugar breakfast sausage links and added them into the cooker per the instructions. I will definitely make this dish again.
