BHG CLASSIC MINESTRONE

I love minestrone but lost my favorite recipe. I found this in Better Homes & Garden magazine and the ingredients sounded so fresh I had to try it. Now my family is glad I lost the other one! This cooks up fast, but is even better if let to rest for a couple of hours before re-heating and serving (great leftovers!)
