Description: " Minestrone means " big soup " , and this big soup needs only thick slices of a seedy whole-grain bread to make a " big meal " . " S(Typed & MC formatted by): " Helen D.(hdeacey1) " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 201 Calories; 4g Fat (17.4% calories from fat); 9g Protein; 33g Carbohydrate; 7g Dietary Fiber; 4mg Cholesterol; 659mg Sodium. Exchanges: 2 Grain(Starch); 1/2 Lean Meat; 1 Vegetable; 1/2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates. NOTES : Finishing Touch: Adding the snap pea pods at the beginning with the other vegetables makes this soup easy, but if you like a brighter green, add them with the pasta at the end. Or if you don't have any peas pods, just leave them out, and your soup still will be colourful and tasty. Note: I added 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Nutr.
