Notes
- *For the cans of tomatoes and beans I use the traditional 13.5 oz cans.
- If you know you will have leftovers, I recommend boiling the pasta separately, adding it to individual portions when served, and then storing it separately from the soup. This prevents the pasta from absorbing all the liquid when stored in the refrigerator.
- Store this Minestrone Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 1 week. To freeze, store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
- For reheating, gently warm the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If the soup has thickened in the fridge, add a little water or broth to reach your desired consistency. Reheat the pasta separately in boiling water for just a minute or two, then combine it with the heated soup to serve.
