Minestrone soup

[Anonymous]

My gold standard was the Olive garden version that I ate in the Midwest. I tried it recently and it was so bleh. Either my tastes have improved or they have declined. What recipe do you use?

In my mind I love OG soups. I make copycat recipes at home and they are more vibrant.

I've been making this one for years and it's a crowd pleaser, especially if you use home mad veggie broth. It's full of pantry staples and is adaptable if you don't like any of the ingredients.

Lots of butter and salt! I also like to add barley or orzo. And some greens and a little bit of soy sauce at the end. Minestrone is my favorite

The cooks illustrated version that calls for V8 (weird but so good) is amazing.

This is the best minestrone: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/minestrone-11569

I don't use the pancetta anymore, and I don't miss it, but either way, it's a great, hearty winter soup.

Is Joe's Place Pizza & Pasta (Arlington) still around? It used to be a chain with locations all over NoVa. They have the best minestrone soup.

At least they wasted fewer electrons than you doing the same thing
