Homemade Minestrone

minestrone-1

When you are feeling under the weather and your city is covered in ice, hot soup is the only way to go.
I honestly never knew that I liked minestrone, until I had it at my aunt's house a couple weeks ago; and when I heard how simple it was to make, I stocked up on the ingredients and made a batch that could feed a small army.
I used this recipe, and used dried lentils instead of the mixed beans.

    sorry I haven't stopped by in a while...feeling a bit overwhelmed these days :) But, glad I did b/c I always love your food posts and this one looks so easy and yummy. In the winter I am always looking for new soup recipes. I also just had a tomato minestrone at a local cafe recently and it reminded me to try making some at home. thanks!!!

    OMG! I have a bag of lentils I have been trying to decide what to use them for that the kids would eat, plain lentil soup didn't go over well!

    Thank you!!! xoxo
