Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Minestrone
- For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth instead of store-bought.
- Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as green beans, peas, or potatoes. Add them along with the zucchini.
- If using fresh herbs, add them during the last few minutes of cooking to preserve their bright flavor and vibrant color.
- For a heartier soup, add a cup of cooked small pasta (like ditalini) along with the ravioli.
