Minestrone Soup (White)
"I love a good minestrone soup without the tomato based flavor and came up with this recipe. My husband, who is the pickiest eater EVER, loves it. I guess that says something. A tasty way to get those veggies! Can add or delete veggies as you like. Really anything goes. Freezes well. Enjoy!"
