Mighty Good Minestrone Soup image

I bought a package of dry minestrone soup mix (Bear Creek) and didn't care for the taste. This is my doctored up version and it is very good!

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg bear creek minestroni dry soup mix
1 lb hamburger, cooked & drained
1 large yukon gold potato, peeled & diced small
1/8 c diced celery
1 can(s) petite diced italian style tomatoes
1 can(s) dark red kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 sprinkle dried onions
1 dash(es) garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 c beef broth granules
other veggies if desired, shredded napa cabbage, frozen green beans, etc.

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add diced potato and celery and cook until almost tender but still firm.
  • 2. Lower heat. Whisk in dry soup mix. Add remaining ingredients.
  • 3. Slow cook until pasta and veggies are tender. (Soup mix says 15 min. but I like to cook mine longer so flavors blend together.)
  • 4. Serve with good crusty bread. You can sprinkle top of soup with shredded parmesan cheese too.
