Here is how you make Christy's Minestrone Soup:

Heat oil on Med-High (5 1/2 on my stove) allow to get hot and then add garlic and brown (3-4 minutes). Add onion, celery and carrot and cook for 8-10 minutes until veggies are soft, stirring frequently. Add Squash, beans, tomatoes, broth and rosemary bring to a boil and then add pasta and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with Parmesan and bread. (Dip the bread in the broth, it is to die for!). It makes about 10 servings.(The recipe called for the pasta to be added the same time as the broth and stuff but the carrots were just a smidge under cooked so I suggest waiting for the boil and then add them.)
