Calling all soup lovers for one of my favorites: Minestrone Soup! With an abundance of fresh vegetables, beans, pasta, and classic Italian seasonings, this traditional minestrone soup recipe is steaming hot comfort food in a bowl.
Originally created by Italian peasants in Rome millennia ago, Minestrone was designed as a way to use up fresh vegetables, beans, and starches. Though the tradition has evolved into a soup that features green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, beans, and pasta in a savory and herbal broth, the recipe is still as versatile as it was at its inception. Minestrone works well with almost any variety of vegetables and beans and is a great way to use up produce before it goes bad.
At first glance, you may think that such a classic dish would require significant prep and cooking time, but the reality couldnât be further from the truth. Prep is easy and painless when you chop all of the fresh veggies at once, and the cooking process is quick and simple. In just a few simple steps, the best minestrone soup recipe will be ready in under 30 minutes!
