This is my favorite soup recipe! I think I’ve made it 10 times. I’ve added zucchini or yellow squash if I have them. Also whole wheat pasta or orzo. A couple times I’ve used the precooked bacon and just added it at the end. Delicious!
Thanks for posting it.

Loved this. The bacon makes it smoky and delicious. It was a huge hit with my husband. He said I’m not to change a thing about it the next time I make it. Thanks very much!

I made this for dinner last night, and it was WONDERFUL. I wimped out and used 4 slices of center cut bacon and it was still yummy. I froze half to take to a neighbor who’s going to be off his feet for a while.

Thanks so much for posting this recipe, RealMom! It took me over a week to assemble the ingredients (I ended up feeding a pound of bacon that didn’t taste quite right to our dog and cats.). Once I got my act together the soup went together quickly and tasted great. I added about a clove of garlic, but followed your recipe pretty closely. It’s going into the regular rotation.

I made this last night. I used center cut bacon, so I needed a little olive oil to brown the onions and celery. Other than needing a little salt it was perfect. My kids loved it. I think I will also try to sneak in a little fresh spinach next time.

Super good! My husband is a pro chili maker (or says he is) – now I have a soup to combate him with!

I’ve been searching for a good minestrone soup recipe and this one is absolutely it! I made it last night and everyone (including my kids) totally loved it! It was easy to make and tasted so wonderful! Thanks for posting!
