College Minestrone

this recipe was a favorite of my friends and me during college. one of my pals devised this it to not only serve many but store well and long. you will need to keep the cans standard size except for the sauce. this soup is cheaper than most, and can adapt to quite a few diet restraints (low-salt, organic, gluten-free, vegan, etc.). the best storage method is freezing in ziplock baggies. just remember: skip seasoning until ready to eat. best part: you can tweek this recipe any which way you like. just have fun, find what suits your tastes and needs, and always eat it with company.(fyi: this soup may not blend well with dairy; i haven't really tried it that way)
