Just finished making another batch of this:
Green Minestrone SoupSince some of it is going into the freezer I wont add the pasta until we are ready to eat it. Also I add thin sliced radishes as a garnish; the hot soup cooks it fine. I found a vegetable peeler did a find job of thin slicing the carrots since I don't have a mandoline.
Here's a pic of one version I made that includes asparagus, new potatoes, broccoli and kale or escarole. Great recipe to clean out the fridge. You can also substitute broken spaghetti or small egg noodles for the tiny pasta listed in the recipe:
