Add some Tabasco sauce for that extra bang.

I used to work in a cafeteria for a summer job in college years ago. Minestrone was just about always on the menu as the soup for Friday. It was the best way to use up all the leftover veggies from the previous week and clean out the cooler before the weekend.

Trade out the chicken broth for some vegetable broth and you have a minestrone that everyone can enjoy.
