I’ve been making this recipe for years! I like to add more veggies and always top with crumbled goat cheese, which adds creaminess. I love that it works as a quick weeknight meal with leftover for lunch and also is perfect alongside a more formal dinner. My kiddos enjoy it too!

This was delicious. My mi estrones are always failures and this one was not. I blended some up and served with pasta -it was a hit with the kids too.

In reply to Carla Arellano. My Italian husband has coached many that if it’s Italian, it’s called pasta. If it’s Chinese, it’s called noodles.

In reply to Cookie and Kate. I did this also , just in casre I had enough to freeze. but I Ended up being short on brooth. I must have added too much veg. and not put in the right water , since I omitted the pasta. Iended up makin more broth separately to add in. but still just as yummy.

I loved this! it was so tasty. I used some of the tips from comments- like the parm rind and the san marzano tomatoes. I did puree them, but hand crushed and boiled them down with the rind added. I also forgot the lemon juice. but it turned out so well. It will be an addition to the winter rotation for sure. husband approved, which is about all I Need to say, as he is incredibly particular. zucchini, yellow squash , red potatoes, spinach and dark red kidney beans instead of the cannellini thank you to all who posted comments and to you for posting the recipe

This recipe works great with frozen mixed vegetables, frozen chopped spinach or kale. Also, I’m watching my sodium these days so no-salt tomatoes/paste and broth made no negative impact in taste. Great recipe that is endlessly variable to whatever vegetables you have on hand!

This is the best Minestrone Soup we have ever had. My husband and I agree that it is the only one we’ll make! Thanks Kate!
