<h2 class="subheader">A Garden Vegetable Soup, Brimming with Flavor</h2> <p>Need a nutritious, satisfying, one-pot meal that’s quick to make, and packed with flavor? This minestrone soup recipe makes a wonderfully tasty meal, chunky with beans and 6 different vegetables. We’ve improved on the traditional with bacon, for added richness and flavor. </p> <p>If minestrone soup calories are a concern, simply omit the bacon; use 1 tbsp. GOYA® <a data-id="5471" href="https://goya.com/en/products/extra-virgin-olive-oil" title="Extra Virgin Olive Oil">Extra Virgin Olive Oil </a>to sauté the vegetables. Then finish each bowl of soup with a drizzle of this “liquid gold”. The bold, aromatic flavor of the Spanish oil will compensate for the loss of the bacon. </p> <p>Add warm, crusty bread and enjoy!</p>

Flavorful Soup, Every Time!

To ensure your soup is brimming with flavor; the most important step is cooking the vegetables slowly so that they become perfectly tender. During this “sweating” process, the flavors of the vegetables are extracted and concentrated, which leads to the most flavorful broth.
