Vegetarian Minestrone Soup

This Minestrone Soup Recipe officially has the longest list of ingredients out of every recipe on the blog! I like to keep my recipes and instructions short and sweet, but this soup is so delicious I just had to share it with you! It’s one of my Grandma’s recipes, so you know it’s good!

You can tell it’s her recipe, because she used zucchini in a healthy way. And she would serve her Homemade Oatmeal Bread with it!

If it was my recipe, I’d be using the zucchini in a Cinnamon Zucchini Cake or Zucchini Brownies. And I would be serving the soup with these Easy Garlic Knots!
