Minestrone Verde image

I can't say enough about this minestrone: it is light enough for summer fair, in fact great on the patio. It is most quick, very attractive, containing lots of flavors. It has no cholesterol, is low in fat, and delivers lots of fiber, vitamins, and mineral. With a foccacia and a dry white, this caps a busy day with civilized luxury. I picked the receipt from the BEAN EDUCATION & AWARENESS NETWORK

This soup is bland and boring. The vegetables are overcooked and the broth is watery. I would not recommend this recipe.
