Minestone Soup (kid approved with an occassional whine)
The calendar say it’s Spring, but Northeastern Ohio says otherwise. It seems we had our Spring in Winter and now our Winter in Spring.

I’ve made this minestrone soup for years. You just can’t go wrong with the soup. It’s fast, easy and you adapt the ingredients to most of your families likings . It usually gets a kid approval with occasional whines of, “why do you have to put tomatoes in it”, or ” can I pick the beans out?”. The original recipe is from Betty Crocker’s Cookbook.
