Great question! For this Minestrone Soup recipe, you have some flexibility. You can use any type of potato you prefer or have on hand. Russet potatoes are a classic choice due to their starchy nature and ability to hold their shape during cooking. However, Yukon Gold or red potatoes would also work well and offer a slightly creamier texture.

As for the onion, you can use a yellow, white, or red onion based on your preference. Yellow onions are typically used in soup recipes because they have a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors. White onions have a sharper, more pungent flavor, while red onions are a bit sweeter. Each will subtly change the flavor profile of the soup, so choose what you think you’d enjoy the most.

My pleasure, Holly! Glad you enjoyed it!

So glad you liked it!

Pretty much any will work, but I prefer yellow potatoes or russets.
