Oh Momma Minestrone Soup
Better than any restaurant version, this minestrone soup is where it's at. (And the where it's at is your kitchen). I love this hearty soup, jam-packed full of beans, pasta, veggies, and spices, this is a perfect hit-the-sport kinda soup. Serve with a crusty baguette, and oh momma!
