Minestrone Soup is a fresh tomato broth with an assortment of vegetables, pasta, and spices. This soup is an Italian classic and has been made by families for years.
I have put my own little spin on this traditional recipe.
What I love about minestrone soup is that it can be made in a dash and uses an assortment of different ingredients. I will take a look at what’s in my fridge and make my soup based on what I have available.
Feel free to substitute certain ingredients for your preference. Serve this warm and hearty classic with fresh bread (gf or regular) and Parmesan cheese. It takes the dish to the next level.
I hope you enjoy!
