I found this recipe last winter on the web and my entire family loved it. With the snow last weekend I decided it was time to bring on the soups and when I look for this recipe on my blog, I realized I hadn't blogged about it.
I found the recipe on a great blog Dinner on a Dime. I modified the recipe to suit our tastes, but as Jenna points out this recipe so great because it is so versatile. If you don't have fresh onion or garlic, you can use dried. If you don't have some of the vegetables, use different ones or leave them out. It really is wonderful on a cold night.

looks so yummy and perfect for snowy kind of weather....still can't believe it is already snowing places!
Looks delish! On a chilly evening, there's nothing better than a warm bowl of soup. I'm definitely going to try this one! Thanks for sharing!
There is nothing better than a warm bowl of soup on a chilly evening. We have gotten quite chilly and snow is is our forecast! Eeks!
This totally beats the minestrone I had yesterday at a sub-par restaurant. It looks quite delicious!
Despite the fact that it's 8:55 a.m. in Illinois, I am craving this soup. Your picture is so incredibly tempting... The best cooking, in my opinion, comes out in the cold weather seasons. That's when the hearty flavor and textures have a chance to shine...
Oh goodie! I needed a new soup!
Yum Barbara, your soup looks and sounds so good!
That looks perfect for the cold day that finally set in here. It was doubly cold because they couldn't quite figure out how to get the air conditioning to turn off in our church with this change in weather :-). So I've totally been craving soup today. I'm glad you posted this!
I love minestrone soup!! Yours look great!
It's getting pretty cold here and I am really starting to crave soups...this looks like a keeper.
I have the worst cold right now and would give anything for a hot bowl of this minestrone.
It is getting chilly and I love this soup recipe.
I've been craving some good minestrone soup, I think I might need to make some this weekend! This looks delicious and like it would hit the spot!
{{snow?}} eyck. We're not even into fall here. I will be making this though when the weather turns a little more. This looks so hearty and so comforting.
This soup sounds delightful, great adaptation :). I can certainly see myself gobbling this up on a cold day.
