Why not try minestrone in solid form for a change? Ready-made minestrone vegetable mixes are ideal for using in quiches. Not only does this mean less work, but you'll also have a vegetable-packed quiche ready in no time. It can even be made in advance and eaten later. This quiche tastes great hot or cold.
