Easy minestrone soup
Had too much V8 juice, so...
I'll confess also that I didn't really measure the volumes of liquid that went into the soup, but will do my best.
Easy and quick comfort meal. Can double the recipe for more servings.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut up the carrots into half-inch cubes and thinly slice the onions and celery. Grate your garlic (or mince finely).
- 2
Heat a pan with olive oil, then add your mirepoix with salt and pepper. (At this juncture, can add other optional vegetables or meats). Sweat your vegetables over medium heat for 3-4 minutes (add the garlic midway through). Then stir in the tomato paste and cook for another couple minutes.
- 3
Add your unsalted broth to deglaze the pan, then add the V8 juice, Worcestershire sauce, beans, and aromatics (I added healthy dashes of dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika, and chipotle powder).
- 4
Bring to a boil then let simmer (lid on) for at least 30 minutes. Once the veggies have started to soften, add the pasta (plus a little extra water, if the soup is starting to run thick). Can cook it past al dente for this soup.
- 5
Taste and season more if needed.

If you like your minestrone more soupy than chunky, add more chicken broth. Keep in mind if you save the soup to eat later, the pasta will soak up the broth. I personally think it tastes better after letting it sit overnight!

This makes a HUGE stockpot because the friends I cook this delicious, hearty soup for want it ALL the time.
