Making Classic Minestrone Soup can be a smooth process if you follow these steps:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes.
3. Add More Veggies: Mix in the zucchini and green beans, sautéing for 3-4 more minutes.
4. Incorporate Tomatoes: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
6. Season the Soup: Stir in the cannellini beans, dried oregano, and dried basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Cook Pasta: Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes.
8. Add Greens: When the pasta is nearly done, add the chopped spinach or kale to the pot. Allow it to wilt for a couple of minutes.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
10. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Once you complete these steps, you’ll have a wonderful pot of Classic Minestrone Soup that’s ready to be enjoyed.
