Veggie Minestrone

For a casual supper, serve this minestrone soup with crusty bread and a green salad. Save the rinds from Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freeze them and put a square in the soup pot. It will add richness and complexity to the broth. For more flavor, you can also use a light vegetable broth in place of the water.
