Atk Easy Minestrone image

Americas Test Kitchen Recipe Minestrone is generally not an easy undertaking, given that recipes often call for homemade stock and at least 10 kinds of chopped vegetables. This version uses frozen vegetables and supermarket chicken broth for a fast, hearty weeknight meal. Frozen zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and beans are sometimes called an "Italian Blend," and can be found in your supermarket's frozen section. Small pasta shapes such as orzo and ditalini work best.
