Tips

ustomize Veggies: This Minestrone Recipe is very forgiving when it comes to customizing the veggies with whatever you have on hand. You can swap the spinach for Swiss chard or baby kale, add potatoes (chopped ˝” and add with green beans), add frozen peas, cabbage (both at end when you would add spinach), etc.


Directions

1. Melt butter in olive oil in a large Dutch oven/soup pot. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
2. Add all remaining soup ingredients through the water. Cover soup and bring to a boil. Uncover and reduce to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Add pasta and cook just until al dente.
4. Remove from heat and stir in spinach. Let wilt (about 1 minute). Add additional water if desired for a less “chunky” soup.
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan (optional)
