Notes
- Gather your veggies from the fridge or buy them from your grocery store.
- Roasted or steamed veggie leftovers can also be used in the soup.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on how much time each veggie needs to cook.
- Saute the onions and celery with the carrots until the onions are very soft and nearly golden. This creates a soup with a nice, deep, sweet onion flavor, not a raw onion flavor.
- Make this minestrone in minutes using the Prego® Creamy Lemon Parmesan Cooking Sauce for a bright, zesty, and flavor-packed soup.
- Add stock, instead of water, for an extra level of flavor. Vegetable stock is great to keep this a vegetarian minestrone. However, any stock works.
- Always have a type of bean in your soup; if navy beans are not your favorite, you can use kidney beans. They add a good nutritional value and a creamy texture to the soup.
- Other add-ons to make your minestrone feel like a full meal are barley, quinoa, pasta, rice or a blend of these.
- Minestrone keeps well in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for three months.
- It’s best to serve the minestrone soup with crusty garlic bread to keep it vegetarian. Or, serve it with grilled chicken as a side.
