Minestrone Soup

8403137561_3bf910954c_oA soup that eats like a meal, filled with simple ingredients yet boasts loads of flavor, that is our Minestrone Soup!! This recipe is a family favorite that we have loved for years.

One that, almost every fall, we cart a big pot of soup down to our local homeless shelter for them to enjoy also. It is easy to pull together and will feed a big family on any weekday night.

Chocked full of goodness, I hope you enjoy it!!

There are pauses while the soup cooks for you to get extra things done like kids lunches for the next day, through in a load of laundry, or just put your feet up.
 
It might not be the fastest of meals but with the extra time in between, you will feel accomplished, even if it is to read a magazine. ENJOY!!!
