Ha. I could dig that. I don’t think I had beans in my version – IIRC the minestrone frozen vegetable collection doesn’t have them. I’ll try to add some from a can next time (though I only have either spicy canned beans or tomato sauce boiled canned beans. The former cannot be used for obvious reasons).

The 2am minestrone variety depicted above could not possibly used fresh beans (which needs to be soaked in water for several hours before being cooked).
