Vegetarian Minestrone Soup with Pasta
Summer is the best time to make minestrone. Delicious veggies are abundant in the garden and on the farmer’s market. This recipe is super simple and super versatile. You can easily substitute the vegetables you don’t adore or add the ones you do. We always choose what we have at home or what’s in season to make the minestrone as flavorful as possible. We like serving it with a drizzle of olive oil, some shredded parmesan cheese on top, and toasted bread on the side. Delicious for any day of the week.
