This minestrone comes together in stages to build layers of flavor. We'll start by creating a flavorful base with aromatic vegetables, then add tomatoes and broth before incorporating the pasta, beans, and finally the leafy greens. While the soup simmers, you'll prepare the simple but delicious Parmesan crostini that perfectly complement the hearty soup.
For the best flavor, make this soup a day ahead and refrigerate overnight. The flavors will deepen and meld beautifully. Just reheat gently on the stovetop and prepare fresh crostini before serving. Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
