This minestrone soup recipe has the perfect blend of vegetables and pasta to create a dish that is light and healthy, yet still incredibly delicious and satisfying. It is full of healthy vegetables, and even the kiddos will probably love this stuff as much as you and I do!
You can make this recipe even tastier by adding the rind of a wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese when you add the broth. Or you can just spring it with parmesan when you serve it.
