EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

"Move the meal. Changing the setting is a wonderful way to elevate an ordinary meal. Add a few sparkling lights and move your meal under the stars. Or set up an impromptu table in front of the fireplace. You don’t have to have a lot of space to make the setting interesting. Sometimes just turning down the lights and lighting a few candles can set the perfect tone."

I really wanted to like this, but it just didn't taste quite right. There wasn't enough broth and it tasted too much like plain water. The only tastes that really did come through were the seasonings, which felt too overpowering (especially the fresh thyme). This isn't the worst minestrone I've ever had, but I can't see myself making it again. It just wasn't very appealing.

I have made this soup many times.. I love it..I put alot of grating cheese right before I heat it up. That makes the soup!!! I used basil instead of the thyme or rosemary..that is just as good. This is one of my favorite recipes.
