Minestrone Recipes

This recipe tries to copy the Olive Garden Minestrone Soup recipe.Submitted by: SLM624

This is a recipe I came across while living in Italy many years ago. I have added some of my favorite vegetables to it to "beef" it up and make it more hearty. It is one of my family's favorites, great for a cold fall or winter night.Submitted by: ROMANTILLY

This makes a big pot of soup. Leave out the beans and pasta and you've got a nice simple root-veggie soup. If you're not vegan, feel free to use chicken stock, and/or add some freshly grated Parmesan at the end. It's also really good if the veggies are sauteed in olive oil first, but this is a fat-free version.Submitted by: CD14277958

Minestrone is a traditional Italian soup, we like to serve it with warm crusty bread, and yet there is no set recipe for minestrone, since it is usually made out of whatever vegetables are in season. It can be vegetarian, contain meat, or contain a meat-based broth (such as chicken stock).

This hearty soup has 90 cal, 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, 258 mg of sodium and only 1 grams of fat per serving. Its a big pot of soup, but it freezes beautifully!
I freeze flat in gallon bags and they stack in the freezer, and I freeze single portions in zippered sandwich bags for a quick lunch.Submitted by: SHUTRBUG1

(Adjusted from WW recipe) I don't know how, but this have a creamy flavor. It must be the garlic maybe. Anyway, if you want to add pasta, add 2 oz of ww linguine broken into small pieces and then count the extra nutritional info for the pasta.Submitted by: JENPEN5
