I know some of you really like this , but I really don't ! Do any of you have suggestions on how to make this more tasty? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I don't like it either and cannot wait until my box is gone. Right now it is emergency rations only (when I forget to order and I get really low!). I have added some salsa in it to make it a bit more tastey. Try that, it helps a bit!

Hi-- I actually like the min. soup.. I adda few pieces of chopped onion and a beef bouillon cube to it as I cook mine on the stove.. I let it simmer about 7 minutes or so until everything is nice and tender.. I like to have the crackers with it..-- Martha

I soak mine in the fridge before nuking. And usually add bouillon and hot sauce. Last time I tried adding a little oregano, too. It's still far from my favorite, though.

Hi there,

You know, the minestrone it definitely one of my favorites. This is what I add to mine:

1 T dried parsley flakes
2 tsp. dried basil
salt/pepper
2 tsp. beef bouillon

I always make my soup during breakfast and put it in a container for lunch. The soup then sits in the fridge for at least 4 hours or so all the veggies and beans soften, and it turns out perfectly.
I hope this helps make it more palatable for you. Good luck!

Hello,

The minestrone is one of my favorites too. I add one of the tomato fast soups into it instead of the bouillon since the fast soup has the extra potassium and than some Ms. Dash extra spicy seasoning. I let it seap with a plate on top for at least 10 min and heat again. The fast soup makes a huge difference in taste.

I love the minestrone soup with a little cayenne pepper and salt. I love the suggestion about the tomato fast soup - may have to try that one!

I've enjoyed using the tips for the minestrone soup....you have to use them or this soup would really be intolerable.....actually, after I'd had three cold shakes before 2:00 PM, I was ready to have some hot soup with my L&G....I pretended it was an appetizer! Thanks for all the tips on making this soup worth eating. Medifasting in Ga., Jules

I made a Medifast mistake....I had minestrone soup with my Lean and Green for dinner this evening.....this was WRONG!!! I mixed a medifast meal with my Lean and Green....glad I now know better . Jules
