In reply to Andrea. Hi Andrea, it will be quite thicker, so you might need some water or vegetable broth.

In reply to Mary. That's a must! I try to throw in 2 when I make 36 servings. I spend way too much money on good cheese lol.

In reply to Greg.

If you have it, throw in a parmesan rind or piece of one. It really adds a lot of flavor.

I have a tip for anyone making this or minestrone. Cut off a few chunks of Parmesan rind and add with the broth. It gives a rich umami and subtle creaminess. It’s a game changer.
