My review
Best Darn Minestrone Soup Around
Ron H Letwinski
"This is a recipe for a Minestrone Soup that is very similar to Lelli's Minestrone soup here in Detroit. Make sure you use a large stock pot, because this recipe is big. SIMPLY AMAZING!"

Recipe was too much! IN EVERY WAY! Must also be "a Michigan thing". This recipe makes enough for an army and has enough calories for one too! It's a great compliment to a sedentary lifestyle.....

I always try new recipes on groups of friends! They loved it!!! I didn't blend the veggies, cause we like'em chunky!! It was a real Hit!! The flavor throughout and the heartyness was great.
