It’s time to talk about Walmart’s Meal Solutions again! That’s when Walmart highlights the ingredients for a quick and easy weeknight meal. This week’s meal is a quick and easy Minestrone.

Now I’m sure many of you have fantastic completely from homemade minestrone recipes. . . but believe it or not Minestrone is one of those things I’ve never made from scratch. I’m not sure why. So I decided to go ahead and try it with the quick and easy recipe that Walmart provided. It turned out to be very tasty! Quick, easy, cheap & tasty. . . got to love that!

This actually looks very delicious! I’m not a big minestrone fan… not sure why except maybe because I don’t care for pasta in soup, but this definitely looks worth a try. Thanks!
I may give it a try with the Great Value brand frozen cheese tortellini… THAT sounds good!
I made this on Sunday (with a couple of pantry revisions to avoid a trip to the store–Stewed tomatoes and grean northern beans plus I added fresh garlic and a healthy dump of italian seasoning) and it was well liked by the family. Super easy and tasty!
So glad you liked it! I thought using the Italian dressing for flavor gave it a nice zip!
