Minestrone Soup
When I think of autumn I think of good savory foods, like stews, homemade breads, and soups. There is nothing better on a cool fall evening than a stemming, delicious bowl of soup, Minestrone soup. I made this recipe even faster to prepare by putting it into microwave form. This way you can make your soup and eat it too !
