Vegetable Minestrone image

My husband and I created this recipe to replicate the minestrone soup at our favorite Italian restaurant. It's nice to have this ready to eat for our evening meal on days when we have a real busy schedule. To make the soup vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of beef.-Alice Peacock, Grandview, Missouri

This minestrone was a disappointment. The vegetables were mushy and the broth was watery. I won't be making this again.

This minestrone was just okay. The vegetables were a bit overcooked and the broth was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
