Hamburger Minestrone Soup (South Beach Diet) image

I came across this recipe for minestrone, adapted for the South Beach Diet, on the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards a few years ago. It's become a family favorite since. It makes quite a lot of soup, but it reheats well. If making this for the South Beach Diet, watch out for added sugar in the tomatoes and beans-- a lot of canned beans and tomato products have sugar added to them. You can also substitute very lean ground turkey and chicken broth for the beef.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the hamburger and the pasta, and they don't even notice the vegetables.
