ITALIAN SAUSAGE MINESTRONE
This no-fuss minestrone is perfect family fare on chilly days. Feeling daring? Substitute a can of butter beans or pinto beans for one of the cans of cannellini beans. I serve it with warm with crusty French bread for dipping into the broth.-Elizabeth Renteria, Vancouver, Washington
