There's something so comforting about a veggie-filled soup that's been simmering all day, lovingly tended to by a doting grandma. Our mini-strone is nostalgic for all the right reasons: it warms you up, tastes like Nonna's, and contains some of our favorite childhood ingredients: orzo (whole wheat), parmesan, basil and tomatoes. It makes us wanna mangia! Fun fact: Minestrone soup dates back to ancient Rome, where it was a popular dish among peasants who used whatever vegetables they had on hand to make a filling meal. Known as "poor man's soup," the word minestrone comes from the Latin word minestrare, which means "to distribute food at the table." But there's nothing poor about this meal: it is rich in flavor, vegetables and deliziosa! When introducing new allergens to your child, it is advised that you consult your family's physician or pediatrician. Diet: Vegetarian
