This weekend I've invited my seven very best friends to join me at my vacation house in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We'll watch movies, go wine tasting in Murphys, and indulge in nonstop good eats. Naturally I'm planning the menu.

If you're wondering what to do with all the beautiful Fall produce, look no further than this hearty minestrone with kale, squash, and pork sausage. If you've got dietary restrictions, simply adapt this recipe to your needs.
For example, you can substitute spinach for kale, kabocha for butternut squash, or chicken sausage for pork sausage.

Minestrone is one of my favorite soups to make. It takes a lot of time to produce a good pot of this classic, Italian soup, so set aside the entire afternoon and make sure you soak the beans the night before. The final result is a hearty, rustic, restaurant-quality dish.

When you're rushing around, it can be difficult to make a proper meal. However, that doesn't mean you have to give up and buy fast food. I'm always on the lookout for quick meals that are also good for me, and I just came across these Health Valley Microwaveable Soups.

When I was a little girl, my parents would often take us on a ride out to Bodega Bay. The highlight of these trips was always a stop at a little Italian dive restaurant where we would get minestrone soup. After a day at the beach nothing tasted better than the warm, hearty soup.

Chillier weather always makes me crave a warm bowl of savory soup. I don't always have time to make a big pot, so canned soups can come in handy. Minestrone is one of my favorites, and I wanted to see how all the different brands of canned soup compare.

While shopping the other day, I noticed the Healthy Choice Minestrone Soup in the microwavable bowls were on sale. Since soup is one of my favorite lunchtime meals, I decided to give some a try. I especially love tomato based soups, so I was excited to taste the minestrone soup.

It's that time of year when, after a long day at work, all I want is a big bowl of comforting, steaming soup. As much as I love brewing a long, slow-cooked soup on the weekends, sometimes I want one during the week that is just as delicious but ready in half the time. When that happens I pull out the food processor (it does all of the chopping for me!) and make this winter minestrone soup.

Good-quality cheese is expensive and if I'm going to purchase a wedge of imported Italian Parmesan cheese, I like to use the entire chunk — including the rind. Luckily, I learned a long time ago that the rinds can be used to season soups and stews. Once you've grated all the cheese off, wrap the rind tightly in plastic wrap and throw in the freezer.
