Hearty Minestrone Soup image

This fresh-tasting minestrone soup gets its zesty flavor from Italian sausage. When you want to use up your garden bounty of zucchini, try this recipe. If your family likes food extra spicy, use hot bulk Italian sausage instead. -Donna Smith, Fairport, New York

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the soup and they didn't even realize that they were eating vegetables.

I made this soup with whole wheat pasta and it was still delicious. I'm glad that I was able to make a healthier version of this classic recipe.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that was about to go bad, so I threw it in the soup and it added a lot of flavor.

I'm a vegetarian and this soup is a great way for me to get my protein. The beans and pasta provide a good amount of protein and the vegetables add a lot of nutrients.
