    Holly's Insider Pro Tips

    Pro Tip 1: To ensure you don't end up with overcooked and soggy pasta, cook the pasta separately on the stove. When you're ready to serve, add desired amount of pasta to bowls, and pour soup on top. This is especially helpful if you're planning on having leftovers. Store pasta and soup separately.

    Pro Tip 2: Add greens such as kale or spinach for more nutrients. This can be added in the last 30 minutes of cooking, along with the pasta.

    Pro Tip 3: Customize your pasta. To make gluten-free, feel free to use a GF pasta of your choice. Or use whole wheat for a more nutritious option. Or if you're looking to lessen the amount of carbs, go ahead and just omit the pasta, and your soup will still be delish!

    Crockpot Minestrone Soup FAQ's

    How do you store Minestrone Soup? You can store the completely cooled soup all together in an air-tight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Or if you're making the soup and pasta separately, store them that way in the refrigerator.

    What is in Minestrone Soup? Traditionally, Minestrone soup includes vegetables such as carrots and celery, beans, tomatoes, and a whole lot of seasonings. Small pasta shapes are usually added at the end of the cook time.

    Is this an Olive Garden Copycat Minestrone Recipe? No, this is not a copycat recipe, although it does taste just as, if not more, flavorful than the minestrone soup you've gotten at Olive Garden before.
