Hearty Homemade Minestrone Soup

February 20, 2017 by Alison 1 Comment

Here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s still very winter-like even though we’re quickly approaching March. We’ve gotten more snow this year than we have in many years (remind me to tell you about the “Winter of 96” someday – that was a doozey!). Now that snow has mostly turned to rain freezing rain and it’s still fairly cold most days. I’m over it but mother nature says she’s not done. I’ve found myself craving warm, filling comfort foods and lots of soup lately. It just seems fitting with the type of winter we’ve had and this Hearty Homemade Minestrone Soup recipe is the perfect meal to warm up with.

    Hearty is right! I’m so used to complaints from my hubby when we have soup for dinner, but I think this one would leave him and my teenager more than satisfied! Need to try this one soon!
