Kidney Bean Minestrone
As a general rule for Italian dishes, minestrone is a soup that tastes better as time goes on. This is why it’s the perfect meal to make at the beginning of the week; it’ll be even more flavorful by the last bowl! Simply make the soup as normal with a mirepoix, tomatoes, and broth, and then add the beans at the end to absorb the flavors.
