Homemade Soup Recipes
Minestrone Soup
Homemade soup recipes that are meals cooked in one pot are my favorite meals. They really fit the bill of one pot meals in a flash!
This is a terrific recipe for our Vegetarian friends as it's wholesome and hearty. Use the same recipe and omit the ham pieces.
My minestrone soup is cooked in a slow cooker so it's just thrown together first thing in the morning and set on low to cook for 8 - 10 hours and wonderfully delicious by the time you and the kids are back for dinner.
I put through some pre-cooked or left over pasta and stir it through the soup for 5 minutes before serving to warm it through.
