Bhg Classic Minestrone

"I love minestrone but lost my favorite recipe. I found this in Better Homes & Garden magazine and the ingredients sounded so fresh I had to try it. Now my family is glad I lost the other one! This cooks up fast, but is even better if let to rest for a couple of hours before re-heating and serving (great leftovers!)"

  1. Great soup. I added extra garlic and an extra zucchini. My husband told me 4 times during dinner how wonderful it was. :) Thanks.
     
  2. This soup was delicious! The only thing I changed was to leave out the green beans (personal preference) and I added a can of diced tomatoes instead of the fresh. It was so yummy. I made a loaf of parmesan bread with it and had the family scraping out the last of it from the pan! Thanks Grace for posting! :)

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p> <p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p> <p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
