Minestrone Soup Recipes

This soup is full of healthy antioxidants. A very hearty soup for a cold winter night! I serve it with hot garlic bread. If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, it's great the next day!

So I feel like I am using my Instant Pot® at least 4 times a week. I have been having a great time experimenting and am amazed at the way the flavors are locked in and how quickly the meals are finished... not to say the super easy clean up. The main insert can go in the dishwasher and I hand-clean the top with very sudsy water.

Fresh vegetables, beans, and pasta are simmered in a seasoned tomato broth. Serve with garlic cheese bread and a fresh tossed green salad.

This is the classic and authentic Italian minestrone with a green twist. No tomatoes here! You may brown some pancetta or bacon in olive oil before proceeding with the recipe if you wish. I prefer to use a good quality vegetable bouillon to vegetable broth. The taste is more authentic and you simply need to skip the salt.

A good soup to use up vegetables.

This vegetarian minestrone is a simple and hearty soup for those cold days. Serve with a Caesar salad and garlic toast and you have a simple, nutritious meal.

Hearty and filling vegetarian soup with potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, beans and pasta. Make sure you have the storage for the left-overs.

The veggies, the tomato flavor, and the peppers all come together for a stick-to-your-ribs dinner! This makes lots and lots of soup! It goes well with Cheddar cheese biscuits and a red wine.

This hearty and comforting minestrone soup with potatoes and chard is a meal in a bowl.

This is a great, flavorful soup that 's even better the next day. It's very thick, almost casserole like. Add water for a more liquefied soup, but be careful not to over, dilute the seasonings.

This is a tasty and filling soup for those cold winter nights. The mix of the vegetables tastes wonderful. Make homemade baked bread and you will have a winter's delight.

This ham, bean and rice soup is my favorite and it is a hearty dinner soup. Sprinkle bowls of soup with Parmesan cheese and serve hot. Serve extra cheese at the table. Offer crusty, Italian bread with the soup. You may substitute macaroni for the rice.

The absolute best minestrone I have tasted. A spicy twist on a traditional soup. I make this in large quantities and freeze in 1 cup portions for a fast meal. I sometimes slice and brown a spicy chicken sausage and add it to this soup for my husband who loves meaty soup. Penne pasta or orrichette pasta may be cooked on the side and added at the end!

This meatball minestrone is a friend and family favorite. It's even better the next day, if there's any left over! Serve with crusty bread and Parmesan cheese to top the soup.

This isn't what I would call an authentic or traditional minestrone. It's simply my way of making a hearty minestrone that's amazingly healthy and quick! I prefer not to use salt or pepper in much of my cooking, to allow the flavors of the food to shine through.

The thing I like most about this soup is the pesto made from the greens of the beets and turnips, along with the kale. Yep, I'm going tip-to-tail. The soup itself gets its lovely red color from beets. You'll have more pesto than you need for the soup, so serve the leftovers over pasta or freeze for future soups. Serve the minestrone with crusty bread and a salad.

High in flavor! Strictly vegetarian minestrone with a flavorful kick! Serve with croutons or French bread.

This is a good make-ahead recipe. In fact, I usually let it sit in the fridge for a few days before I reheat it! Feel free to experiment with the mixed vegetables. I use the Italian-style mixed veggies. Serve with warmed foccacia or French bread for dipping.

This recipe was given to me by mother-in-law, it is the greatest winter warm-up soup ever.

This minestrone is yummy, full of good-for-you veggies, and made in the slow cooker. What could be better?

This delicious and easy minestrone is made in the morning and cooks all day in the oven for a wonderful soup your family will love. Sometimes I'll add a can of beans, or frozen corn, or cooked carrots, if I have it on hand. If not, though, it's delicious as is!!

Minestrone is a thick, mixed vegetable soup using almost any combination of seasonal vegetables. Short cuts of pasta or rice may also be added. This version includes pesto sauce.

Easy, hearty, slow cooker minestrone soup. We like to top ours with Cheddar cheese and serve with cornbread. It's even better the second day and leftovers freeze well.
