Making Classic Minestrone Soup with Knorr Homestyle Stock #NewKnorrStock

Fall is in the air, and there is nothing like a homemade pot of soup on the stove on a chilly day.  I usually make traditional chicken soup, or kale and bean soup, but since I was trying out this new Knorr Homestyle Stock, I decided to use their recipe for Classic Minestrone.  The recipe and many more can be found right on the Knorr website.
Knorr Homestyle Stock provides a new and convenient way to always have flavorful stock on hand.  While I do make stock myself on occasion, it is not always practical, and would never be enough to cover my need for it in recipes.  Sure you can freeze leftovers, but I personally don’t have a whole lot of spare freezer space.  Cartons of stock are another popular option, but these can be space hogs too, especially around the holidays, when a lot is needed.  Knorr Homestyle Stock is concentrated and packaged in small tubs, a real space saver.

The tubs are quite small, and the concentrate inside has a more gel-like, rather than sticky consistency.  I was surprised when the concentrated stock popped out of the tiny tub so cleanly.  Each tub makes 3 1/2 cups of stock.

Here is the minestrone soup recipe I got off the Knorr website.

The only changes I made to the minestrone recipe, when I made it this weekend, were the addition of a bay leave and extended simmer time. If you want to prepare this soup in the time they suggest, I would recommend dicing the carrots very small and reducing the amount of water to 4 rather than 5 cups.

Keep your eyes open for Knorr Homestyle Stock at a retailer near you.  I know it is currently stocked in Super Walmarts, since that is where I picked it up.
