This really satisfied that homemade minestrone craving that I was having! I played around with the proportions a bit (adding a bit more of ingredients I really liked and a bit less of the ones I was not so fond of), and ended up with a big batch that I could reheat for lunch during the week.

Thanks for sharing!
