Minestrone

WW Points4
The ThermoCouple

What's Needed

  • 1 Thermomix
There are so many variations of this soup out in the wide world. Everyone has their own version.
This is a combination of mine, my sisters and of course, my Mums. If you leave out the bacon which I often do, the points reduce to 3 WW Points
