Soups Stews And Chili - Jamies Minestrone

I created this soup after becoming tired of the excess salt and lack of veggies in canned minestrone. I recalled a great bowl of minestrone that was overflowing with rich vegetables at the 'Sheepherder's Inn' in Sacramento, California. Great with a hearty bread, romaine salad and a nice Merlot!

This makes the best shrimp! Remove from skewers and serve on a bed of pasta with sauce for a great meal.
