So this one-pot garden minestrone soup recipe is packed with fresh tomatoes from my vegetable garden and fresh corn from a nearby produce stand.

Update: I always look forward to the first minestrone soup from garden produce. We’ve updated the post to answer your most common questions and added a new how-to video to walk you through the process!

Roasting cauliflower brings out it’s natural sweetness, and I’ve combined it with a good-for-you, high in fiber pressure cooked barley risotto.
