Useful tips when making minestrone soup:
Consider using vegetables you have on hand that need to be used up in the refrigerator or freezer. Green beans, peas, kale, and even corn could be other options. You can customize the vegetables to your liking. To make this meat-free meal truly vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I like minestrone soup with small pieces of pasta like ditalini and finely chopped vegetables. Of course, you can also use elbow macaroni or any other pasta you have in your pantry. In a pinch, use a handful of crumbled spaghetti, like Gordin Ramsay’s minestrone. 👨🍳 Minestrone soup can be frozen. Let cool, then store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight, then warm and serve as desired. Add more broth if needed. If you’d like to add some protein, we added cooked ground Italian sausage as a delicious way to make this meal even more filling. 😋
Oh, I love good soup recipes, especially this minestrone!
I warmed it up and ate it for lunch the next day, and it was even more delicious. However, pasta tends to absorb the broth by the next day, so adding extra broth is a good idea.
Next time I’m going to serve it with air fryer grilled cheese for a delicious idea.
My teammate Emily thinks about this minestrone soup:
“This is the perfect soup for winter. I love vegetables with beans. It’s a great soup that’s hearty and filling! The flavor is phenomenal. The whole family loved it! I’ll definitely be making this again. Sho.”
