      I love Minestrone soup alot ever since I had it for the first time at the Olive Garden restaurant in Orlando. I have been desperately wanting to have the recipe. Thank you so much for posting this! I made this for dinner tonight using Maggi vegetable broth with onions as a substitute for the chicken and beef broth. Also, I used Pure Wesson Canola oil as a substitute for the olive oil and I used ghee as a substitute for butter. I had to omit the zucchini and leek since I did not have those on hand and I'm not a big fan of them either. This soup was very nice and made me warm. Thank you for sharing the incredibly good recipe on Zaar!

      This was a wonderful recipe. I added some italian seasoning and it was perfect. I served it with fresh italian bread.

      So simple and so good.. The only addition I used was bay leaf. I was worried about the lack of spices. There was nothing to worry about - it was soo good.

      I was hungry for some vegetable soup since it is soooo cold here in Baltimore. I didn't have any beef so looked at several minestrone recipes before deciding on this one because I had everything called for. I had small bags of lima beans and collard greens from my garden. I had some sweet potatoes I needed to use up, so chopped one of those up for one of the potatoes. Surprisingly, it didn't taste sweet at all as I feared and actually tastes good in the soup. I added an extra teaspoon of beef base, a half a can of tomato paste, used stewed tomatoes and added some italian seasoning, savory, marjoram, bay leaves and garlic. It's very good with some parmesean cheese on top and bread and butter. Lots of good things in this soup!

      This was outstanding! I left out the leek and any type of noodles (hubby is not a fan of pasta in soups) but followed everything else exactly. It was wonderful! Thanks for a good soup on a cold rainy night.

      This was fabulous, I did tweak it a little though. I added 1 can of mixed beans and doubled the pasta (I have little children) because of this I added an extra 2 cups of broth. I also added a pinch of thyme and basil. Served it hot with parmesan cheese and colby (montory jack), let it go all melty and ate with toast - amazing! My 3 sons loved it - particulary the "soup" part. Congratulations on a recipe that 4, 3 and 1.5 year old boys gobbled up with no complaints!

      Delicious and so easy to make. I did add some garlic and chili paste but I usually add these to most recipes. Yummy winter dinner with crusty warm bread..will definitely be making this again! Thanks for the recipe!!

      I thought this soup was delicious! I didn't have a leek or zucchini, so I skipped those. I used 18 OZ of water with 3 beef boullion cubes and 4 cups of chicken broth and skipped the additional salt. I added 14 OZ diced tomatoes and 1 10 OZ can Rotel mild tomatoes with chiles/ I added 1 14 OZ can garbanzo beans and 1/2 cup elbow macaroni and about 3 cups spinach at the end. Loved it!!

      My SO is raving about this soup - i did everything verbadum except the spaghetti - I used cheeze filled tortalini- This is very rich flavourful soup - if you are going to try it - don't change it up - try it as it - you won't be sorry... GREAT RECIPE ! (also freezes well)

      WOW this is an outstanding Minestrone Soup. I highly recommend you try if you already haven't. I used Kittencal's Wonderful Beef Stock Crockpot Wonderful Beef Stock Crockpot for the beef broth and cheated by using sodium reduced chicken stock from the store. I didn't have any kidney beans on hand so I used a can of Bean Medley (chick peas, kidney beans, back eye peas etc.) The flavour was incredible. DH had two bowls for lunch. Thank you for posting a great soup.

      Excellent recipe. Only subsitutions were half as much olive oil and half as much butter - and I used light butter. It really doesn't need 15 grams of fat per serving to be fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!

      This soup was so easy to make.Most of the ingredients I had in the house and if I didn't I improvised. This is a wonderful hearty soup. My husband really enjoyed it. Next time I will use less olive. Will be making this again.
