Spill-the-Beans Minestrone
A meal in itself, here's a hearty soup from Reuben Tsujimura in Walla Walla, Washington that's chock-full of good-for-you veggies and vitamins. Serve with crunchy breadsticks and no one will even miss the meat!

Reviews
a great meatless meal w/ fresh bread
This is the recipe I've been searching for. We tried it from the magazine years ago--then I lost the recipe. So glad to find it again! We are vegetarians, and this is a perfect soup for us! Our favorite minestrone!
I've made this several times and have always enjoyed. Very easy and quick. One change I made was to increase the broth to 3 cans and skip the water, and add the pasta after the water boils.
Loved this recipe. Quick and very easy to prepare. My husband likes meat in his soup so I always add turkey kielbasa.
I have made this soup several times and always get great reviews. My husband is not a soup person and he likes it along with many picky eater children.
