"Garten's minestrone soup appears in her 2012 cookbook "Foolproof." In the recipe's description, she calls it an "incredibly hearty winter soup" that "falls somewhere between a soup and a stew." The soup is packed with tons of vegetables baby spinach, butternut squash, celery, carrots, garlic, and onion plus cannellini beans, pancetta, pesto, Parmesan, and fresh thyme. It requires a lot of chopping and prep, but all those veggies provide plenty of heft."
"Most minestrone soups I've tried have been lackluster and forgettable, but Garten's version is a commendable effort. The chopped tomatoes and pancetta bring some richness to the broth, while the rainbow of veggies provides plenty of color and texture. I loved the pops of freshness from the spinach and thyme, and the salty kick from the Parmesan on top. While it's not my favorite Barefoot Contessa recipe, Garten's winter minestrone soup is healthy and hearty."
There are dozens of soup recipes with varied styles and flavors. Winter minestrone is an incredibly hearty soup that falls between a soup and a stew, packed with baby spinach, butternut squash, celery, carrots, garlic, onion, cannellini beans, pancetta, pesto, Parmesan, and fresh thyme. The recipe requires extensive chopping and prep but yields a vegetable-forward, substantial broth. Flavor balance comes from chopped tomatoes and pancetta for richness, spinach and thyme for freshness, and Parmesan for saltiness. Italian wedding soup uses meatballs made from ground chicken and chicken sausage instead of beef or pork.
