Hearty Minestrone Soup

Believe me when I say this soup was one of the best things I have ever eaten. It has the perfect balance of that tomato acidity and delicious chunky texture. And When you top it with shaved parmesan, it's basically a soup lovers dream.
This takes essentially no prep it's mostly just a dump it in the pot kind of recipe. What I'm trying to say is.. it's so easy there is no excuse !
