Minestrone Soup

Creating a warm and healing soup is as easy as 1-2-3 when it comes to the Mediterranean. Often referred to as a poor man’s soup, Minestrone is an affordable way to kick off eating a Mediterranean Diet.  Focus on vegetables that are either in season or grab items from the freezer or canned food aisles.
