Minestrone Soup 🍲 ✨
_____________________
By now everyone’s aware of the polar vortex happening ❄️ The school I work at has been closed the past couple of days because of it, & I can’t think of any better excuse to make a big pot of soup than free time & cold temps 😋 I adapted this recipe from a @madhungry Minestrone recipe (simply google “Lucinda’s Minestrone” for the original), & it was anything but boring - so hearty & flavorful! 🙌🏼 There’s still a lot of winter left, so lots of time to make this yummy meal!!! ❣️
