Easy Minestrone Soup

Thanks Bibi, this was great! So versatile, too. I added potatoes but this would be good with any number of veggies- corn, green beans, whatever. I did add some extra spices but that speaks more to the jar of marinara than the recipe! I did end up adding 2 extra cups of broth to make up for the broth absorbed by the pasta but that was the only significant change I made. The family loved it!

oh my goodness, this soup is so flavorful! I substituted fresh spinach--2 handfuls--for the kale. Next time will make with fresh garden herbs, but it was so good even with store-bought dried Italian seasoning. Yummy!

Sooo good! I used Barilla spinach and cheese tortellini instead of the pasta, simply because I already had it on the shelf, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. It made enough for my husband and I for dinner, with enough leftover to freeze for another meal. We both loved it, and I will definitely be making this a lot this winter!
