Recipe by Shirleyoma: Quick And Hearty Minestrone Soup/saved
Enjoyed the soup. It has a sweet note because of the butternut squash. Although I did miss the barley. And it didn't have that beefy flavor that I'm used to in the minestrone. Almost added a diced up smoked wiener sausage but didn't.
I sauteed all the veggies for a few minutes so that they wouldn't have that crispy edge to them.
Went back in and added substantially more S&P.
Don't see the kale in the authors headliner pic. And it does look like a bowl of mixed veggie soup out of the freezer section of the grocery store because of the corn and peas mixed in.

Hi Pointsevenout. That looks like a hearty vegetarian type soup to me especially with the use of veggie broth instead of beef. I think that the sautéing the veggies first is a great call. It would also release the natural sweetness and goodness of the veggies too.

Love your pic and thank you for a good find.

It does look hearty! I would have sauteed some of the veggies first too, it really does bring out the flavor of them so much more :)

After looking at the ingredient list, I have to agree with you, Points. It looks more like vegetable soup than a traditional minestrone. Glad you enjoyed it.
