How to make Minestrone Soup:
In your favorite Dutch oven, heat oil and then sauté onion, carrot, celery and green beans. Then add in water, chopped zucchini, frozen spinach and bouillon. Use beef bouillon or vegetable bouillon. There are several cans that get added in next: chopped tomatoes, pinto beans, wax beans, garbanzo beans, black eyed peas and red kidney beans. None of those canned items need to be rinsed. Just dump them in- liquid and all. That’s what makes this such an easy minestrone soup recipe! Simmer the beans for 40 minutes.
Add potatoes, and simmer for an additional 40 minutes. Added potato makes this soup hearty and filling. This soup makes enough for a crowd, so be prepared for that. It’s also a great soup recipe to make on the weekend and eat all week long for lunch. Plenty of vegetables in this soup gives it a healthy vibe. It’s warm and comforting for sure.
Ladle individual servings into bowls and top with a little Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
