Fall is the perfect time to enjoy warm, hearty soups that provide comfort as the temperatures dip. The season’s abundance of root vegetables, squash, and fresh herbs lends itself to soups that are rich in flavor and nourishment.
Minestrone, in particular, holds a special place in my heart as my favorite fall soup. It’s a satisfying, all-in-one dish that combines the earthiness of seasonal vegetables like carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes with the heartiness of beans and pasta. I used an orecchiette vs. the ditalini pasta for this recipe when it was not in my local store. The savory broth, often infused with garlic, onions, and herbs, creates a rich, comforting base that feels both nourishing and indulgent.
This year, I picked fresh tomatoes from my garden, stewed and froze them for specific recipes like this to add extra home grown flavor. I hope you enjoy this versatil recipe that allows for “your own customization” to embrace the flavors of fall while offering a warm, satisfying meal.
