I love soup, but I don’t always want it creamy or dense. This vegetable minestrone is super hearty, but not heavy. It is FULL of healthy vegetables with just enough protein from the beans. My kids love the little noodles and dipping in a big crusty piece of bread and butter (carbs much?! Oh well, at least they’re getting in the veggies). Although it’s snowing outside, I’m dreaming of making this soup again when my garden is in full swing! It is so fresh and delicious.
