Homemade Minestrone Soup

I tried making homemade minestrone soup this week and boy did it taste YUMMY. I tweaked a recipe I found on the Food network website. It was super easy and the smells reminded me of home when my Mom used to make me "the red soup" :) That was my favorite soup that she made growing up.  This was healthy, low on cost overall and gave us leftovers. Definitely is a repeat. I have no idea why I hadn't made it before!
