Easy Healthy Minestrone Soup

"Here is a healthy, simple. vegetarian soup recipe for spring! Nothing like a pot of simmering, home made soup! Talk about comfort food! Chock full of veggies, tomatoes, vegetable broth, and pasta; this is a low fat, low calorie one pot meal sure to please a hungry family! Ready in a little over an hour, this soup is super healthy as well as filling. Fresh garlic and green onions sautéed in a dash of olive oil; add some carrots, celery, eggplant, peppers, diced tomatoes, garbanzo beans, vegetable broth and pasta of your choice (I love elbow macaroni in this!) you have a wonderfully healthy family meal! This is even better the next day! Serve with a tossed green salad and fresh bread. Serves 8"
