[comment_content] => I just made this tonight and it was EXCELLENT! I made with zucchini instead of green beans. Loved the kick from the red pepper flakes. Will definitely make again with some variations for fun, but this recipe is a keeper!

Excited to make this,
Would you have any idea how to make it in a slow cooker?

[comment_content] => Absolutely! If you want to make in a slow cooker, add all ingredients except for the noodles and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 2-3 hours. I would also reduce the broth to 4 cups (instead of 6). Once it’s done, remove heat, add noodles and cook on high uncovered for 10-20 minutes or until noodles are done.

[comment_content] => Loved this recipe! I made my own veggie broth (celery, carrots, bay leaves, garlic, & s/p) and it was so yummy! I used diced tomatoes instead of crushed fire roasted because that’s all I had, and it still had good heat with the crushed red pepper! Next time I think we’re going to sub chickpeas for the elbow noodles for less carbs / more protein. This is the perfect soup for a cold day!

Delicious! Everyone loved it, added extra pasta to make it more like a chili than soup. Still great.

[comment_content] => This Minestrone soup was sooooo good! Very hearty and filling. Also smells super good. I didn’t have celery so I subbed in zucchini instead. This is now my go to Minestrone Soup recipe. Thank you for sharing! 🙂

[comment_content] => This is going to be a keeper for me. The potatoes make it so good. I did not have canned tomatoes so I used fire roasted spaghetti sauce (Barilla) and I used dried lentils instead of the beans. I also added barely, always looking to add fiber. I topped my bowl with a little olive oil when finished!! This will be my go to veggie soup.

[comment_content] => Loved this. I sautéed the carrots for a few minutes before the celery and onion because they always seem to take a bit longer to soften. I ended up leaving the completed soup on the lowest setting for an hour while I took a work call and it turned out delicious! This soup also saves extremely well.

I always do the pasta in a separate pot so the children get to choose how much pasta they have.

[comment_content] => My husband loves Minestrone soup so I have been searching and searching for a soup recipe that we both would like. This one is 1000% a WINNER. I make it at least once a week in the fall and winter. Its super easy and the flavors are absolutely perfect. I usually sub fresh green beans for canned and leave out the potatoes. Once of my all time favorite soup recipes and I’m so glads its finally getting cooler so I can add this back into the rotation.

[comment_content] => This recipe was absolutely delicious! Full of flavor and texture. Very quick and easy to make too! One tip I’ll use next time is to add a bit more vegetable broth (especially if you are really looking for a soup). I found the recipe as is to be delicious, but it felt more like a chili since it was so thick.

[comment_content] => This soup is hands down the best new recipe to start off the new year with. The soup itself is packed with delicious veggies and has a nice kick to it with the red pepper flakes and seasoning. I made the garlic bread to go with it and it feels like a warm hug for a cold winter’s day: I would definitely make this again, for myself as a meal prep and for a small crowd when small gatherings become a thing again. Bravo!

I didn’t add potatoes or kidney beans, both to save on carbs and calories, but also because I don’t care for either of them.
I don’t usually eat any kind of bread or crackers with my soup.
And I used beef broth in mine. I’m not vegetarian, but we sometimes do have Meatless Monday.
This soup is delicious.
Some of my friends think it strange, but I love soup for breakfast. It’s so comforting and nutritious. This I’ve never understood…why do people put seasons on food?!? I don’t believe any food has a season. I cook and eat soup and any other foods any time of the year. If I want macaroni salad on a cold winter day in January I’m going to make macaroni salad and enjoy every bite. I’m not going to wait until July 4th to enjoy one of my favorite foods.

[comment_content] => This is a wonderful soup recipe! So much good stuff—and so many veggies—in there. I don’t love watery soups, so I only used 4 cups of vegetable broth and it came out like a hearty vegetable chili! Just enough liquid to cook the noodles. I also topped it with some leftover part-skim ricotta, and it was great. This is a keeper. Thanks, Monique!

I made it with ground beef and actually didn’t have room in my pot for the ingredients in the third step. I ended up cooking the noodles separately and then sauteed up my green beans as a little side dish. So many leftovers – it was great! I’ll definitely make this again. Thanks, Monique!

I didn’t modify anything but you could easily switch it up with different veggies and feel like a new flavor each time. Will definitely be making this again!

I made the minestrone soup in the crock pot today and it’s fantastic! Everything was perfectly tender and not mushy. Excellent flavor. I didn’t modify anything but you could easily switch it up with different veggies and feel like a new flavor each time. Will definitely be making this again!

[comment_content] => This was really good – made a HUGE portion! I subbed zucchini for green beans and couldn’t find fire roasted crushed tomatoes in my grocery stores. If you make this, try to find fire roasted tomatoes because I feel like mine lacked a little flavor and I was trying to alter/add more flavor with seasoning after it had simmered. That was my fault though and not an issue with the actual recipe.

I made it in the slow cooker and subbed sweet potatoes for Yukon golds. ALSO, the fire roasted crushed tomatoes definitely added flavor (as opposed to just regular crushed tomatoes) and I will definitely add to recipes in the future. My favorite noodles for this one are ditalini!

This was excellent! I love minestrone soup and was excited to make this. I had a hard time finding fire roasted crushed tomatoes and forgot kidney beans on my shopping list so ended up using crushed tomatoes with basil and cannellini beans. I thought it was perfect! I also withheld the red pepper flakes only because I planned to serve to my kids too. My husband kept telling me how good it was even though I didn’t add any meat…he’s a big meat guy. The meal was super easy to make too which is always important with kids…I prepped veggies while kids napped and everything was ready to be thrown in when I was ready to make it. Garlic bread on the side! Will definitely make again and perhaps try adding ground beef or maybe even cubed beef.

I also ended up having to simmer it longer, but I think that was due to a cooking error on my part. Nonetheless, such a great recipe! I want to have garlic bread or crostini with it next time!

I used a little less broth so it would be thicker, just personal preference. It was perfect for the snow-mageddon day we’re having, and I’m sure it’ll be even better tomorrow. Thank you for another great recipe!

[comment_content] => Love this soup! . . . The green beans really add some crunch and texture. I’m not a fan of spinach in soup, so I just increased the other veggies a bit (a touch more green beans, a couple more stalks of celery, 1 more carrot). It definitely yields 6 very hearty & filling servings. It keeps and reheats well, serves me and my husband for 3 nights straight. And grated parm on top is a must!

[comment_content] => Delicious! I love how full of veggies and flavor this was. My grocery store only had diced fire roasted tomatoes, and I’m glad I chose them over regular crushed. I was able to add the tomatoes before the broth and chop them up a little bit before adding the broth, and it worked well. The only thing I would change next time is I would use less crushed red pepper – this had more of a bite than I expected/would have liked.

Delicious! I love how full of veggies and flavor this was. My grocery store only had diced fire roasted tomatoes, and I’m glad I chose them over regular crushed. I was able to add the tomatoes before the broth and chop them up a little bit before adding the broth, and it worked well. The only thing I would change next time is I would use less crushed red pepper – this had more of a bite than I expected/would have liked.

[comment_content] => This is delicious! I added a couple Parmigiano Reggiano cheese rinds to the pot to simmer with the soup, These can be purchased at whole foods. You’ll need to take it out before serving though.
When serving, label soup in bowl place a homemade or store bought crostini toast on top, grate some fresh Parmigiano Reggiano on top and then drizzle some quality olive oil on top….its very good this way.
Mangia mangia!

Also, a can of Canelli beans in addition to the kidney beans, also ’cause I had them. Keep these hearty winter recipes coming! Thank you.

[comment_content] => Made this soup for the first time tonight and it was a hit! Much thicker than I had anticipated. Used mostly items from the fridge that needed to be used and the soup was still delicious. The only change I made was to add mushrooms that had been hanging around awhile.

We vote at our house to establish a 30 day menu – this one made the list. That is high praise, especially for something SO easy!

Thank you. Kathy

[comment_content] => This minestrone soup is delicious. I subbed out zucchini for green beans and went a little heavier on the pasta and made a big batch. It is super filling and a great meat free winter lunch. Keep the recipes coming Monique!!

I’d never made or eaten minestrone soup, and boy, I’m so glad I tried this one! This recipe is perfection. I followed it exactly, then stirred in ground mild Italian turkey sausage at the end. It’s a major win when I find a nutrient-dense recipe that also tastes flavorful and phenomenal, and your blog is chock-full of them! Thanks for sharing!

[comment_content] => Your soup recipe came in my email and that’s what I decided to do for lunch today! I’ve never made minestrone soup before. I think because my husband can’t do kidney beans. But I decided to give him a bowl before I added them. It was yummy. I didn’t have fresh onions so I used onion powder. I did sprinkle in a little bit of garlic and turmeric as I know they are an immune Builder. I had a little bit of hamburger that needed to be used so I threw that in. I also added turkey bone broth for the health benefits. I didn’t have spinach or zucchini but would have added both if I had them. I only had a red potato rather than a Yukon and I think the Yukon would have been a little Milder potato flavor.

It was fun to try a new recipe, thank you!

[comment_content] => This Recipe was fantastic. I had to alter some of the ingredients based on what was available here but it still turned out absolutely delicious. Will 100% be making this again. I left out the pasta and added more kidney beans. I used frozen kale instead of spinach. I also used frozen green beans.

[comment_content] => I made this for a department potluck and everyone loved it! I’d doubled the recipe hoping to have some to take home. No such luck.

I used only 2/3 of the amount of vegetable broth so for my doubled recipe, I used 8 cups instead of 12. It was just right for me. Also, I always cook and serve the pasta separately so it doesn’t get mushy and so people can opt out if they need or want to.

Anyway, it’s delicious with just the right amount of spiciness. 👍

Flavors are really spot on. I do cook the carrots/potatoes/celery/onion longer than indicated – otherwise I end up with underdone potatoes.

[comment_content] => I used Monique’s recipe as a guide and substituted the vegetables that I had on hand. I used regular diced tomatoes, not fire roasted and a few different fresh vegetables. I also added the rind of my Parmesan cheese and let it simmer in the soup all day. The most time consuming part of the recipe is chopping all of the vegetables, but it’s so worth the effort. I now have hearty, comforting and delicious soup to eat all week.

[comment_content] => I have made this soup twice. The first time I added a can of chickpeas to the recipe. The second time I added a can of cannellini beans and left out the spinach since I didn’t have any on hand. I also substituted a couple cans of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes for the crushed tomatoes. Lastly, I added fresh minced garlic both times because I rarely cook without it! I am not a vegetarian, but this makes for a delicious, inexpensive, and meatless meal.

[comment_content] => I found this recipe lacking in flavor a bit, and to not have much broth, especially after a day of storage in the fridge when the noodles had more time to absorb more liquid, it ended up becoming almost a veggie/pasta salad. But because of the subtle flavor, I fear that adding another cup or two of broth would make it totally bland. I would also recommend reducing the chili flakes to 1/4 TSP if you don’t like spice; while subtle in flavor, the soup has a good amount of heat! 🌶️

[comment_content] => I,ve made this minestrone soup twice now. The first time I was really surprised, I thought nothing special, just minestrone soup. Been around for ever, well when I had a serving I loved it.Filled with nourishment, cooked tomatoes are healthier when their cooked and lots o other veggies. I didn’t have any carrots so i added broccoli sprouts,I think carrots would suit this soup better, but it was a very tasty healthy sou.p. I love the Italian seasoning as well. I,m enjoying some now on a chilling evening.

[comment_content] => This soup was fantastic! Added the ground turkey for more protein and used beef broth (because I never have veggie broth on hand). So flavorful and filling, reminds me of my favorite minestrone from a local restaurant that went out of business years ago. I have been looking for the perfect minestrone recipe and this is it! Thank you!
