Minestrone is easy to make, and there are a ton of recipes out there with different ingredients.  I don’t know that there’s anything spectacularly different about this one but I love it, and wanted to put it out there.  Feel free to play around with the types of veggies and amounts.  The basil pesto topping is a MUST!  You can find that recipe in Recipes on this site, or in the Forks Over Knives Cookbook.
