Family Favorite Healthy Minestrone Soup! image

This is our family's favorite minestrone soup recipe. We've tried others and keep coming back to this one, because it's usually healthier (no oil) and has more ingredients I have on hand. It's such a healthy filling meal. We are not sure where the recipe came from, but it's been on a piece of paper that is falling apart and I knew if I didn't put it in here I might lose it forever one day.

1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (I use fresh kidney beans often also)
3 cups fresh corn kernels (or canned will work)

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

This soup was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them into this soup. It turned out great! The soup was flavorful and nutritious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I think I might have added too much water.
