I've made this quite a few times. I don't really like minestrone or beans, but this recipe has converted me.

This was pretty good, but it seemed like a lot of effort and a long list of ingredients for just being pretty good. I probably won't make this again.

This soup was fantastic. I followed the recipe, except that I added two sausages. I used Applegate Farms mild Italian chicken-turkey sausage. It has a delicious flavor that really made the soup even better - especially the fennel. Definitely brown it first. I used all organic veggies and beans (sorry Bush!). I also used multicolored bowties that my daughter loved. I actually had pesto at home and tried it on the soup, but it really just doesn't need it. The soup is delicious as is and the pesto flavor just masks the soup flavor. Unless you LOVE pesto, I'd skip it.

This is an awesome way to stretch your food until payday. I had a can of Navy beans that I used along with the kidney beans. I also used a Hillshire farms smoked beef sausage which gave this an amazing smokey, hearty depth. I didn't use spinach b/c I didn't have any. But thats the beauty of the soup, it is very versatile! The seasonings were spot-on for my tastes. I used half chicken broth and half beef broth and used seashell pasta instead of bowties. Make this recipe!!

Huge suggestion: don't leave out the sausage. :-) I'm a vegetarian, so I left it out, and I think it affected the entire dish negatively. It lacked a lot of flavor. I still gave 4 stars because otherwise it may have been good.

This is really good and very easy to change up and make it to your liking. I did not use the meat or pesto and it was a great veggie minestrone. I'll make it again!

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I added the pasta uncooked at the beginning of the cooking time and the pasta turned mushy. It was still great. It is a very Weight Watcher friendly recipe - 3 pts. - and very filling. I'll make this again and again,my husband loved it!

Fantastic, hearty, healthy soup that's easy to make, and will fill your home with a wonderful aroma all day while cooking. If you do some of the chopping ahead of time, it will make it even easier.

This was not only pretty easy to make, but it was DELICIOUS!!! My very picky 16 month old actually ate it - and asked for more. I followed the recipe exactly, but I didn't have the pesto to top it with. I made it with garlic toast for dipping. I will definitely be making this again.

Very tasty! It is a healthy, hearty, and flavorful. We used provolone and red pepper turkey sausage. It filled my entire crock-pot.

My kids and husband loved it!! The only thing I did differently was that I put the pasta in at the beginning, raw, and let it cook until tender. One less pot!
