- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in carrots until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth and diced tomatoes into onion mixture; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add red wine, reduce heat to low, and stir green beans, pinto beans, spinach, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper into broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your minestrone will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, and spinach.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will make your minestrone mushy.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your minestrone, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is flavorful and has a rich color.
- Add some beans or pasta. Beans and pasta will help to make your minestrone more filling and satisfying. Some good choices include cannellini beans, kidney beans, or small pasta shapes like ditalini or macaroni.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bit of Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes.
Conclusion:
Minestrone is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious pot of minestrone at home.
