GREAT-AUNT LILLIAN'S MINESTRONE SOUP
I was just a kid when my Great-Aunt Lillian passed away, but I do remember eating her minestrone soup when I stayed with her. I found her recipe in my Grandma Bush's recipe box. What a treasure to find.

Steps:
- 1. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot.
- 2. Saute onion, celery, garlic, green beans, and zucchini in the oil for 5 minutes or until onions begin to turn translucent.
- 3. Add vegetable broth to pot, plus drained tomatoes, beans, carrot, hot water, and spices.
- 4. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
- 5. Add spinach leaves and pasta and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until desired consistency.
- 6. I like to serve with homemade croutons and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese sprinkled on top.
