MINESTRONE SOUP RECIPE WITH SAUSAGE AND FENNEL



Minestrone Soup Recipe with Sausage and Fennel image

Think of this recipe as a guide. The soup is excellent as written, but this is the perfect opportunity to use up vegetables in the fridge. This is great eaten straight away and it will keep overnight. The pasta may become softer overtime, but the flavors of the soup will improve.
