MINESTRONE WITH SICILIAN SEASONING

By

This is another soup recipe with Sicilian Seasoning. I just can’t help myself. I love Sicilian so much. It’s my favorite. And Minestrone was practically invented for this blend. The veggies and the seasoned broth with the beans and a little bit of ground beef in the broth…really it’s just the perfect recipe to show off what the Sicilian can do
