My family are crazy about soup, veg-packed minestrone in particular. This soup gets great reviews from our friends, too.

I generally follow the ingredients as listed, but the only vital ingredients are the ♥ marked ones. Provided you include those and stick to the listed ratios, you can include whatever else that takes your fancy.
I use any leftovers in pasta dishes or risotto.
When cooking the photographed soup, I skipped Step 1 so it's lighter in color than usual. Recipe by MeguBroaden
