If you love Minestrone, you will love this recipe!! In my opinion this is better than Olive Garden's Minestrone soup. I love that you can make it as thick or thin as you want. Try adding some red wine for a more authentic flavor. I left the wine out in order to shave calories.Submitted by: DIVA3993

When a recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken, save money by buying a whole chicken and de-boning it yourself. Then save even more money and increase the nutritional content of your soups by saving your chicken bones in the freezer to make your own broth. Submitted by: DLMTLE

If you are in a hurry, you can just use canned beans and increase the vegetable broth to 6 cups. The cannellini beans can be made the day before, stored in their broth and used when you make your soup. This is how this becomes a "quick" minestrone.
In the winter/spring I use frozen green beans and canned tomatoes from my summer garden and fresh chard which grows like a blessing all year round. In the summer, in goes the ubiquitous zucchini. This quick minestrone has about 7 servings of veggies in each bowl! Submitted by: MADDY_AVENA
