Minestrone image

Amazing minestrone! Vegetable broth can be used instead of chicken broth to make this dish vegetarian. This soup can be prepared ahead of time and frozen in air tight containers for up to 2 or 3 months. To prepare from frozen, thaw soup and pour into pot. Bring just to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
