{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Vegetable Minestrone Recipe

 

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 
MAKES: 8 servings


Ingredients

2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth

  1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian-style stewed tomatoes
  1 large onion, chopped
