30-Minute Minestrone image

I love minestrone and this is a quick version I will be making soon. Adapted from Taste of Home's website and Betty Claycomb of Alverton, Pennsylvania jots, "This simple, chunky soup is low in calories, the beef broth's seasoned nicely, while the spinach adds a refreshing difference."
