Minestrone With Italian Sausage image

I got this recipe from Taste of Home and recently made it. It is a tasty satisfying soup. I did use frozen green beans instead of the fresh. This recipe does make a lot, but it does freeze well and tastes great reheated.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think next time I will add some more spices and herbs.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think next time I will add more broth or water.
