This was grandma’s favorite “clear out the garden” dish. Every pot was different, but always full of color, beans, herbs, and that slow-simmered warmth that makes a bowl feel like a blanket. It’s summer’s answer to comfort food – one ladle at a time.

Advice
Don’t overthink it – minestrone is about using what you have. Got green beans? Throw them in. No tomatoes? Add a spoon of tomato paste. The only rule: no rules.
Status
Garden-packed minestrone – beans, herbs, veggies, all in one pot.
🥣 Cozy doesn’t have to be heavy.
