    I made a Minestrone Soup that came with the Wolfgang Puck Pressure Cooker.Note: if you do not have a pressure cooker, one of my friends made this on the stove and turned out wonderful she said! I think it's better than other Minestrone soups that I've tasted in restaurants. I've done several variations to this recipe: sometimes I slice the baby carrots,used both pancetta and bacon but not together. I've used all variations in the liquid, I prefer the white wine myself! A little more savory and depth to it! love the fresh Thyme in this recipe, it's one of my favorite herbs this year! And to top it off! Try dropping a teaspoon of fresh pesto and some olive oil in each bowl of soup right before serving...IT'S SOOO YUMMY! Even if your not a fan of Pesto, it's a MUST TRY!:) I hope you will Enjoy!:)
