This hearty and veggie packed minestrone soup is one of my favorite cozy meals to make during soup season!
Soup season is the best season! Although, it’s still in the 90’s here in Texas. I’m so ready for some cooler weather and fall recipes so it hasn’t stopped me. This minestrone soup is a recipe I make on repeat all fall and winter long. It’s so comforting and makes for great leftovers.

1 cup small macaroni pasta
2 tbsp fresh chopped basil, plus more for topping
shredded or grated parmesan for topping
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat add oil, onion, celery and carrots. Sauté 4-5 minutes.

Notes
*This soup makes for great leftovers. However, I would suggest having some extra broth to liquify it when you reheat it. The macaroni absorbs a lot of the liquid over night.
