Vegetable Minestrone Recipe



My husband and I created this recipe to replicate the minestrone soup at our favorite Italian restaurant. It's nice to have this ready to eat for our evening meal on days when we have a real busy schedule. To make the soup vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of beef.—Alice Peacock, Grandview, Missouri




      TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min.
      Cook: 6-1/2 hours
      YIELD: 8


Ingredients

         2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
         1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
         1 can (15 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
         1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian-style stewed tomatoes
        1 large onion, chopped
         1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
