Minestrone Verde image

I can't say enough about this minestrone: it is light enough for summer fair, in fact great on the patio. It is most quick, very attractive, containing lots of flavors. It has no cholesterol, is low in fat, and delivers lots of fiber, vitamins, and mineral. With a foccacia and a dry white, this caps a busy day with civilized luxury. I picked the receipt from the BEAN EDUCATION & AWARENESS NETWORK

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of odds and ends in my fridge and this soup is a great way to use them up.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra broth and it was perfect.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
