If you're from lower Michigan you will no doubt know of Lelli's restaurant. They are famous for their Minestrone soup. This tastes exactly like the restaurant soup. It was given to my husband from a friend at work.

This minestrone soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the soup. It turned out great!
