For the best flavor, use high-quality vegetable stock. Homemade is always a plus! Feel free to customize this minestrone with your favorite seasonal vegetables, such as spinach, kale, or butternut squash. If you don't have fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme can be substituted. Leftover minestrone tastes even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan Parmesan alternative.
