Yesterday I made another one pot wonder for dinner. It was cold and rainy and I couldn’t think of anything more fitting than a hot bowl of soup.
This minestrone soup recipe was recently published in Rachael Ray’s magazine. It’s quick and easy to throw together and went perfectly with grilled cheese sandwiches. I loved the flavors and will add this into my regular rotation of repeat recipes. Plus I’ve got plenty of leftovers for the rest of the week now too!
