Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup is a classic tomato based soup filled with vegetables and often rice or pasta. This recipe makes enough to serve a crowd and would be perfect for a gathering or as a holiday appetizer for your whole family.

TIP:

Once cooking is complete, the pasta will continue to absorb the vegetable stock. Add up to 2 cups additional stock after cooking to maintain a soupy consistency.
