I wonder if I can get some people to agree with me. My group at culinary class are making a minestrone soup for our group project. The recipe says to dump all the veggies, inc onions garlic and celery into a pot with water and boil. I would always sautee the onions, then add garlic, celery and carrots, then everything else to get a nice flavour. What do other people think?

If anyone has a minestrone recipe I'd love to see it!
