Summer Vegetable Minestrone

Peak-of-summer locally grown produce is the freshest and most nutritious, and practically seasons itself. All the cook needs to do is show off the vegetables’ vibrant flavors with an easy soup like this one. If you are making the soup ahead of time, don’t add the pasta, as it will soak up the broth and become mushy. Instead, wait and cook the pasta just before serving. Distribute it evenly into the bowls, and pour the reheated soup over the top.
