My grandma made minestrone for me, and I felt like cooking it, too.
I made it with tomatoes since they are in season now.

You can add more ingredients. I recommend cabbage, beans, etc.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, use canned, but fresh are more delicious.
When you stir-fry the bacon in Step 2, it's better to stop right before it becomes crispy. Recipe by rinocojp

Pour olive oil in a pot, and fry the garlic until fragrant. Add the bacon, and stir-fry. Add all the vegetables except for the potato, and continue stir-frying.

When the onion becomes translucent, add the potato, water, and consomme cubes. Cover with a lid, and simmer over low to medium for 15 ~ 20 minutes.

When the ingredients reach your preferred softness, and the potato is cooked through, turn off the heat. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
