Welcome to my soup maker homemade minestrone soup.
I love soups that I can make that will fill quite a few bowls and that feel like I have got value for money out of the ingredients.
What I hate about carrot soup, broccoli soup and even cauliflower soup is that is feels like I need a huge amount of vegetables to get four decent sized bowls.
That is why I like minestrone and the way I can get six bowls of it together.
If you were asked a hundred people to name a popular family soup the likelihood is that the majority would name minestrone.
You can see why – it is hearty, it is perfect for the kids, it is simple to make and it is a very frugal soup recipe.
I must admit though, that the first time I tried minestrone soup it was out of a packet. It was not homemade like most of us have and it was more like a cup a soup.
But since testing and tweaking recipes I have finally found my dream minestrone soup and this is it…

Loved this soup, made loads. I didn’t add the beans and cooked pasta till soup was finished, due to sticking to the base of soup maker when doing similar soups. Also gave it a 10 second blend before adding beans and pasta. A tsp of paprika and Italian herbs boosted the flavour.
Deliciousness in a bowl.
