We made this Cookie + Kate recipe: https://cookieandkate.com/classic-minestrone-soup-recipe/. This was healthy and tasty.
Our modifications: first, for the vegetables we used 1 russet potato (diced), 1 zucchini (diced), and 1/2 cup French-cut string beans, which exceeded 2 cups. As a result, we increased the liquid to 7 cups. Second, we used a combination of no-salt chicken broth (5 cups) and water (2 cups). Third, we added 2 parmesan rinds. Fourth, for the pasta we used ditalini. Finally, at the end of cooking, we added a dash of sugar for balance in addition to the fresh lemon juice. (Apr. 2026)
