    Quite simply the best minestrone soup I've ever had! I added a zucchini & yellow squash, and omitted the pasta, and it was perfect! Very easy to make!

    I made this yesterday and had for dinner tonight. Delicious! I made a few adjustments, simply to use up some items in my fridge and pantry, and it was still delicious. I used canned green beans this time around and, instead of the can of kidney beans, I used a half can each of kidneys and black beans leftover from another meal. Unfortunately, my grocery store was out of fresh basil leaves, so I look forward to having them when I have some of the leftovers. Betting that will make this soup even tastier.

    For me, 2 cups was too large of a serving. So I ended up with 8 servings rather than 6. For those following Weight Watchers, that smaller portion size (1.5 cups came out to 4 points plus value.

    Definitely a keeper!

    Made this tonight and was super yummy and easy to make! Definitly a keeper and will make again! I followed the receipe excatly as it said and it turned out great! I added a little more chicken broth at the end so that there was enough liquid, but overall the BEST minestrone soup and really healthy!

    I seriously registered just so that I could review this soup. AMAZING. It is hands down the best minestrone soup I have ever had...may even be the best soup I have ever had. Followed exactly except for using frozen spinach in place of the green beans (only because I had none...it was delicious. Total keeper and you must try, I promise you will not be disappointed you did.

    Very good! I added some cabbage, potatoes, and yellow squash (for a pop of color. Make sure you listen to the reviewer who added more pasta...it doesn't seem like a lot, until it cooks!
    Since I added the extra veggies I added more crushed tomatoes, water, and a LITTLE more noodles (less than 1/4 cup more.
    I found that the soup took longer to cook than anticipated. It was closer to an hour total, not the 30 minutes listed. Either way, I don't care, it was totally worth it!

    This soup was quick and easy to make. I used the same amount of basil, salt, pepper, and oregano and was even able to cut out half the oil. Using 1 tbs was plenty to get the onions going.

    Some changes that I've made-

    I added in fresh, chopped mushrooms.

    We froze some of our extra tomatoes at the end of the summer season, and instead of the canned diced tomatoes, I decided to dice up one sandwich-sized baggie of our fresh, frozen tomatoes. They were great!

    We also canned a lot of tomatoes at the end of the season, and froze the water that came after passing the tomatoes through the strainer. I used about 4 cups of that and 2 cups of fresh chicken stock.

    I do not cook the pasta in the soup; instead, I cook it in small batches as we eat the soup - it makes for fresher pasta and allows us to keep it the texture we want.

    I did not use the full 1/3 cup of Parmesan; I sprinkled a little on the top of each bowl before serving. It was fine, and healthier.

    The flavor is unbelievable. Replacing salt with herbs makes a huge difference in flavor and is much healthier too. This soup is great. Whoever loves veggie soups will love this. Thanks Ellie for your healthy recipes. :
