Mini minestrone soup recipe
This lovely hearty soup is great for cold weather. You can use any kind of very small pasta. Cut toast fingers or bread fingers to serve with it. They are lovely to dunk into the soup and eat with your fingers. If you are making this for the whole family, increase the quantities by 3 or 4 times (for a family of 4–5).
This makes between 12 and 16 portions, and you can freeze extra portions for later use.
