Here is how you make white bean minestrone:

heat olive oil in soup pot, cook garlic one minute, add everything else and simmer for about 40 minutes. The sodium is high because the ingredients didnt have the low sodium ones I used and I didnt have the packages to add them. You can add some pasta or ham or pork, spinach leaves. I had a pork roast going at the same time and I added some pork and whole wheat pasta to it in the last 20 minutes. Oh and when it gets too thick, I add a cup of hot water, probably added five.Serving Size: At least 12 bowlsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CINDIDIT.
