Fall is soup weather in our house. I love making soups because 1. it usually makes a lot which means leftovers for lunch and 2. I pack the soup full of vegetables!!
My favorite soup to make, and a favorite in our house, is Minestrone soup. Italian flavors, veggies and pasta make it so yummy. A great dinner for a cool Fall day. Serve it with a crusty bread and you’ve got a great meal.
The recipe is below, but it’s an easy 1 pot meal that simmers on the cooktop. I use Walmart private label brands which produce a delicious soup while saving money! With their low-price quality private brands, like Great Value and Marketplace, you won’t be sacrificing great taste to save a little money. You can even find Walmart private brand organic vegetables in their produce section.
Having a busy day or short on time? Use Walmart’s Online Grocery service. You can save time and money and still serve your family a delicious meal. New customers can use promo code TRIPLE10 to save $10 off their first 3 pickup or delivery orders. (a $50 min. Restrictions & fees apply)
