I have been making this minestrone for years now with NO changes to the recipe. The flavor is so wonderful that my teens overlook the fact that it is full of nutrition. Every time I make this for friends, They request the recipe. You'll love it!

Seriously tasty or as RR would say, "Delish!" I am not a talented or even great home cook and this was a really easy recipe. Aside from having a hard time picking out the pancetta at the store (I ended up with 4 oz of thin-sliced pancetta, which worked out just fine, it was a simple and tasty recipe. It felt healthy to eat and cook. I thought taking the stems off of the bagged spinach took awhile and that maybe I misunderstood what needed to be taken off. I would have included the bay leaf if I'd had one on hand, but I didn't and I think the soup turned out fine without it. Like another reviewer, I would have let the pancetta render just a little longer too. Overall, easy-to-follow recipe with lots of flavor. This is a hearty, satisfying dish and pairs well with whole wheat crusty bread.

FROZEN SPINACH AND GUEST WITH ULCER. I planned a small but elegant luncheon and this soup was a big hit. Used bacon and FROZEN SPINACH--I live on an island where fresh produce isn't always available. It was still wonderful!! So many compliments. One of the guests has an ulcer and so can't eat tomatoes. This is better than a regular minestrone to me anyway! The luncheon was for six people, and the soup was served as a first course, so they were smaller portions and we still had a good amount left for later. Just a thought: This is my first review on any cooking website (I've been a member for many for a couple of years. This soup was delicous You'll want to keep this recipe on hand.

I substituted kidney beans for garbanzos to get a more authentic minestrone flavor. I also didn't have an onion so used to chopped carrots for added flavor. Added a palmful of dried Italian seasoning. This is a hearty, healthy, filling and flavorful soup.

I love to make this soup in the summer when the zucchini is abundant. It is very easy to make, and you can throw in whatever you like as well to make it your own. I find with most of Rachael Ray's soup recipes that it does benefit from longer cooking time than stated -- unless you like crunchy vegetables in your soup. Gave this recipe to a friend, and she liked it as well I always use bacon rather than the pancetta as a starter.

My husband and I loved it. A really fresh take on Minestrone that we loved. It's comforting but healthy at the same time, and soooo easy to make.

The recipe states it makes four servings, but it is more like 6 or even 8. But, don't fret, it's even better the second day!
