Recipe: Minestrone soup

This is the perfect weather for a warm hearty bowl of soup. Soup is a special food that warms not just your tummy, but your soul. Soup is the ultimate comfort food. Soup will for sure make your home smell amazing! When people walk in, they will be curious about what is cooking. I love to teach my grandkids how to cook and prepare food. Soup is one of my favorite things to put together. You take a bunch of raw ingredients; wash, scrub, chop, dice, sauté, season and magically make a unique creation every time. I don’t always follow recipes exactly when I make a pot of soup. A lot of times ingredients come from what’s in my pantry, what’s in my veggie bin, and what’s in my fridge or freezer.
