Summer Minestrone
Dave Nadkarni
This delicious Summer Minestrone is simple to make, and bold on flavor. It has a couple of slight differences to give it a slight southwest feel. The jalapenos and pinto beans give it a slightly different flavor and texture than the traditional minestrone. Also, the mushrooms help give the flavor some extra body.
