Pinterest to the Rescue!

I was in the mood for a hearty vegetable soup this morning, and went to my SOUPS board on Pinterest where I'd saved a recipe for minestrone.

Here is a link to the original recipe, from Little Spice Jar, which I followed pretty closely.

I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and since I knew we wouldn't be eating it that day, I cooked the pasta separately, rather than in the soup itself.  I used tiny elbows since I couldn't find ditalini in any of my local stores.  I just put the pasta in the bottom of the soup bowl and ladled hot soup over it.  Yummy!
