Directions:
In a large stock pot, over med heat, heat olive oil and saute onion for 4 to 5 minutes.

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender. Drain water.

Add vegetable broth, and red wine to the large pot with the onion, simmer on med-hi. Add cooked pasta, beans and vegetables (I love fresh veggies but frozen would be fine), herbs and seasonings. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 30 to 40 minutes.

Ladle into soup bowls and enjoy with some nice crusty bread.

Personal Notes:
Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you off, this is really an easy soup to throw together. 20 min prep, then just let it simmer awhile and it’s delicious!!

Minestrone has historically been a soup into which the cook throws whatever is on hand. Keep the broth the same and just put whatever veggies, beans and/or pasta you want.
