    Best tasting minestrone soup ever! Make sure you add the pesto, olive oil at the end and make the bread. It all adds to the final product. My husband and I thought this soup was amazing!

    This was so easy, so yummy and so hearty. I have a vegetarian in the house and always trying to find recipes that will satisfy the whole family - this one was great, plenty of leftovers which were even better than the day I made it.

    Good but not like my Nonni used to make! Less pasta and more cannellini beans and I prefer swiss chard to baby spinach and find green beans add a lot to the soup. For added flavor, toss in a hunk of Parm rind or just a big slice of the cheese to the soup while it's cooking. Now we're talkin' Minestrone!!!

    Absolutely DELICIOUS soup! I followed the recipe, (expect for the pesto and wouldn't change a thing. This isn't a fast soup you can whip up because of all the chopping, but your efforts are well rewarded. Thank you Ina for another winning recipe!

    This recipe was excellent. I used orzo instead of the suggested pasta because that's what I had in my cabinet. I was a little hesitant about using the butternut squash because if it's sweetness but I thought the flavors came together beautifully. Definitely making this again.
    Thank you Ina.

    One of the best Minestrones my family has ever had! My children do not like butternut squash so instead I used diced potatoes. I increased the potatoes to three cups (from the 2 1/2 cups of butternut squash and felt I didn't need the pasta so I did not add any. My 10 and 13 year old had seconds and asked if they could have more the next day!

    This soup is OUTSTANDING!! All while I was making and tasting it I felt it was a little bland . But once it was all put together - PERFECTION! Be sure and have the brucetta with it. I can't get enough. It's definitely a keeper.

    One of the freshest tasting soups I have ever made! I made it last Sunday for dinner and then enjoyed it for lunch during the week. The bruschetta was difficult to not eat before the soup was ready, and it made a tasty topping for the soup. I will definitely make this again and again!

    I love minestrone but have never used squash as one of the vegetables. I had a wonderful bounty from my garden last summer and had a pumpkin in the cellar just screaming to be used. So I followed Ina's recipe and substituted pumpkin for the butternut squash and barley for the pasta. I did the cannellini beans from dried; used frozen chopped tomatoes from my garden; and pesto I had made fresh. It was absolutely fabulous. I can't wait to have another bowl

    This soup is delicious, but it's actually even better the second day. Definitely on my list of great soups.
