Wow, 13 years ago. I've been watching Laura in the kitchen for a long time.

[@novemberschild7653]

2023 and STILL making this soup. This is the best recipe I've found. Thank you, Laura!

[@shortyaep73]

I made this soup today. It was my first time making it and never really new how. It turn out so well we really had nothing left. I have a 13 year old son who is Austic and won't eat spinach and he ended up eating 3 bowl of it. I'm planning on trying alot more of your recipes. Its been so hard to find easy recipes that are affordable and easy to make. You make them look so easy and fun. I want to thank you for making cooking and baking fun for me again. Please keep them coming.

[@zvezdapadalica15]

All these people...its too fat, its too oily, it has too many carbs...well yes, most delicious things do. You don't have to eat this everyday and in any case it's much healthier than burger king and mcdonalds. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION PEOPLE! Today you'll have a soup that has more carbs but for dinner you'll have a nice salad. MODERATION! You're amazing Laura, congrats on your show!

[@danywinkler6637]

Wow! I have been following you for about 5 years. Learned to cook by watching your videos. I didn’t realize how much the quality of your videos have improved throughout the years!! I love it.

[@usagi18]

It's nice to see your older videos. You looked so cute and nervous!! you can see how much you have improved over time ;)

[@bbw420latinajayvlogs9]

Definitely

[@CLARA3952]

@sunbakedglory hi there, pancetta is and italian bacon, its very similar to regualr bacon the only difference is that pancetta is not smoked. but if you cant find it go ahead and substitute regular bacon. Hope this helps and as alwasy, thank you for watching! laura :)

[@lovenow]

This is a lovely recipe, but unless you are prepared to wolf down the whole pot, straightaway may I suggest using less stock in the dish and cooking your pasta on the side - and adding pasta to individual portions. Reason being - if you don't finish the pot, the pasta will soak up all of the liquid, go soggy and leave you with a thick minestrone 'stew'. (I know because this is what happened when I made it). Next time, definitely going to cook the pasta on the side. Thanks Laura !

[@LMWelsh-oh5iu]

you're right - because my the pasta gets funny!!!

[@robertlerma1029]

GREAT suggestion, THANKS!

[@jamesmmooney]

I cook the pasta on the side if I’m not eating it all at once

[@robertmirolo3755]

Thank you Laura, I have made this soup twice following your recipe and it is wonderful !

[@melissataulbee2048]

Your so young in this one. Love seeing your old videos. I can always find what I need on your channel

[@aintgonnahappen]

Just made this tonight with her french bread recipe. Both turned out great! Highly recommended.

[@lambyiii]

nope...with minestrone soup, you can literally put anything into it. i've heard it said that it should never be made the same way twice. for me, i LOVE it with beans. garbanzo beans, cannellini beans, kidney. i also put zucchini, cabbage, sweet potato, cauliflower and/or corn. it depends on what's cheap and in season, or what i'm craving. when it comes to minestrone, it's all up to you.

[@dgaller06]

I’m making minestrone soup, but I’m not using Laura’s recipe because I already started like 30 minutes before I saw this video. The recipe I’m using calls for cabbage, but instead I’m using spinach because I didn’t want to get a whole head of cabbage to end up only using like 20% of it. Also, it calls for ground beef but I’m using ground Italian sausage. I know it’s like mid morning where I live but I like to make a large pot of food and make that last for a couple days.

[@DCARA06]

I like seeing you go through the process of peeling and dicing the veggies. This looks great, I love minestrone soup! It would go nicely I think with your veggie stromboli.

[@o0Affinity0o]

Just made this recipe along with your cheesy garlic bread for my family, and it was fabulous. Thank you so much for this recipe, I will definitely be making it again!!

[@THETWEETYful]

I made this soup this afternoon and it was delicious! Even my kids who hate vegetables loved it. I made some changes mainly because it was what I had on hand. I did not add basil and substitued it with a few leaves of cilantro and thyme. I added some zuchini , and sliced mushrooms. And instead of canned tomatoes I used 2 Large fresh pealed tomatoes I had orzo, and another type of tiny pasta. instead of diced pancetta I used it sliced plus and oz of prociutto because that is what i had. Yum

[@rickwall8941]

I have watched 4 others and yours is the best!

[@marclaval5573]

Good base,I omitted the carrots and celery,added canellini beans,,peas, and used bacon.Very good.

[@pattivela2581]

OMG! Baby Laura! Wow you have come a very long way. Congrats on the success! 😊

[@thekulitsduomusicandadvent9336]

Yuuum!! Very good demonstration, will try tonight! And she looks way prettier without the heavy make-up on:)

[@SaftasCookingShow]

I do live the thick thicker version of this Minestrone. Love the spinach. However, I would still want a bit more juice in my bowl. Thumbs Up!

[@reviewmystuff1785]

Omg you look so young on this video! Thanks for the recipe:-)

[@Maria-LadyAce]

You've come a long way since this!!! I've been watching you since the beginning. I'm about to make this again cause I'm about to have oral surgery. Looking for nice soft food to make for the next few days.... I lost my written recipe so I came back here to watch..

[@timmarkowicz779]

Yummy, I just made a batch but with bulk Italian sausage, elbow macaroni and kale...

[@Phoenix016]

I made this for my boyfriend and I and he said he could eat this every week! I only had enough left for lunch the next day. So it was very good. I did let it simmer between eating two different bowls and I think it tasted better. I also doubled the amount of tomato paste. I'll be trying more of your recipes!

[@karpetech]

Lovely Video, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your recipes.

[@vpatel211vp]

I left pancetta out since I'm vegetarian....it turned out awesome...thx Laura.

[@jonnyharman]

Really nice recipe. Thanks a lot. I'm in Moscow presently, and it's close to minus 20 outside, so this exactly what is called for.

[@adriaNotfun]

i love how you have improved your cooking. So cool.

[@aileenkim320]

[@bilbilvit]

I like the way you make minestrone thick instead of watery.

[@AnnaM157]

I'm making this right now, I changed it a little bit because I'm vegetarian but I'm excited, can't wait to try it lol

[@nickieidrus2027]

Hi Laura. The minestrone looks good. I don't eat pork. Can I use beef bacon for this recipe? Thank you heaps. Can you do Filipino cuisine? I'd love to see your take on Filipino food. I'm not Filipino but I have a friend who is Filipino.

[@TenzinNorzin2023]

🤗 Thank you!

[@GodUd6589]

Laura you really need to remasterize the old videos!

[@sarahzamir757]

Laura I don't eat pork so what should use instead or pork for this recipe ?

[@2dasimmons]

Wow! This is before she had stove burners at her prep/camera island. Cute.

[@DCARA06]

I'm planning to make your "weeknight minestrone soup" tonight from your cookbook but wanted to stop by here first to watch you make this one. ;)

[@shyguy2075]

is pancetta an important ingredient for this? can you do without?

[@susanb5058]

shyguy020 you can totally leave out the pancetta.

[@K-popstanLuver]

wow blended minestrone interesting.i should try it.

[@homieblossom]

yummy id love to try and make this

[@LJC4495]

omg..how young you were so cute 🤗

[@gutimar0328]

[@HeatherC19]

[@umstetter]

Thanks, Heather!

[@michaelstanger]

Looks good.

[@johnxscar]

making this tonight 💯👌

[@TurquoiseBeach]

thank you for making this on my request, definitely will try it tomorrow:) it looks amazing...can't wait til tomorrow:)

[@2dasimmons]

Thank-you for peeling carrots/vegetables. Many home chefs today leave peel/skin on😞 That is not good unless you're roasting the veggie like with roasted sweet potatoes😍

[@jaylennicoleac]

that was great

[@jagjitmandy88]

hi Laura, gr8 n easy recipe.. I'm gonna make this soup 2moro at work. sounds good. where are you from if dont mind? i like ur accent.. i think its cool.

[@Wyldephang]

I personally like my soups to have chunks of vegetables and meat in the broth. It gives me the impression that I'm eating a hearty meal. I do like to blend my tomato soup, though, for that silky consistency. So, I guess it depends on the occasion.

[@MariVictorius]

Wow, the lighting has really improved since the old days lol. 👍

[@daphnerodriguez9980]

THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME

[@christypoos9728]

Should you not cook potatoes first because they take longer to cook than vegetables?

[@Nizaka5]

In the written directions, do you list 4 cans of chicken broth in case one likes a thinner soup? I think you only used 2 cans in the video.

[@aMEXICO2010]

Woah lauren looks so different

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Yeah, she was a real cutie when she made this video...now in 2014, she kinda starting to look like an old Italian lady!

[@HeyItsSarah30]

It's Laura

[@d1nonlyfrances578]

can i use fresh chopped tomatoes instead of canned

[@MsVictoria4ever]

I use fresh tomatoes in this this soup and it's fine.

[@ZexyDiva]

It does return to the soup, you missed it on 8:30

[@tedoymisojos]

yum

[@KillDozer44]

@LauraVitalesKitchen hey great video do you know that soup brand that has it in a container dehydrated soup the name has rose in it cant remember the rest do you know please?

[@SmartSurvival]

I usually put turkey Kielbasa in mine because its low in fat, although pancetta is very tasty its just too fattening for me. Gotta stay fit! lol

[@lisam25]

Thanks, going to make this, except leaving pork out. Don't eat it here and noone but me likes turkey bacon lol.

[@jyotsnachaudhari5009]

What is that oval stainless steel pot called?pls give brand name,capacity and is it available on amazon.

[@sundragon1976]

Forgot to sprinkle w Parmigiano-Reggiano!

[@billinindiana1]

What's the difference between minestrone and pasta fagioli?

[@CLARA3952]

billinindiana midwest the fagioli has meat

[@nr1kardashianfan]

do you have to use the beans?

[@addyn3251]

Joe u r sooo smart to hv laura, a cute & beautiful chef as your wife. We r jealous of u. Btw i juz made this today by using fresh chicken breast istead of pancetta or bacon to cut down on sodium. Nice recipe. Thanks Laura. You r very sweet & chubby at this video. Love both of you!!

[@umstetter]

Did you use the cooked pancetta in the soup or save it for another use? I couldn't tell if you had added it back in after the spinach or set it aside. Thanks

[@mariannestiles6160]

soup looks great! im a picky cook & u left the black eyes in potatoes. Supposed to dig them out w tip of peeler. other than that good recipe 😘🌻

[@THETWEETYful]

...The rest of the ingredients stayed the same. Delicious!!!

[@Manotz]

what is pancetta??

[@petercarvajal1231]

To be clear,cooked pancetta never returns to soup .Correct?

[@scottishgirl1100]

i use beef stock in mine :)

[@dianeo3280]

Justine Hietkamp B.B.

[@elpaisanito13]

@fl260 lmao you could've add bacon and zucchini instead of eggs, black olives and radish lol or if you wanted too you could've add chicken breast but that needs more things

[@kaylaainsworth8340]

Kayla hi

[@sk6754]

any substitutes for the vegetarians Laura?

[@CP-qn3tu]

@Saranya- for a veggie twist I make this using the exact same ingredients, just swap the bacon to small cubes of paneer sometimes and completely omit it the other times. I use veggie stock cubes as well for added flavour.

[@ItsTingie]

Laura is pancetta & prosciutto the same thing?

[@Auburngal03]

No.

[@Licazy]

You look soooo young, so cute.

[@homieblossom]

yes she is very beautiful

[@believeyourself92]

No episode 13 :(

[@joeturbo64]

😍😍

[@terrychristopher1342]

Beautiful girl!

[@johnnysneaker1]

Cook the pasta separately or it will absorb all the broth.

[@serpentarius51]

That's what makes it thick.

[@ronbullysh6956]

Since then till today you never peel your Potatos clean, why???????

[@rere9991]

@SuperGhamdi1 beef bacon if u have any would be fine :)
