Mighty Minestrone
I know, another soup recipe, but I was pretty excited about this one. Veggies, beans, and pasta, all in one bowl, plus it is a fairly quick cooking soup. Just sau
te onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and a bay leave until the veggies are soft, and then season them with salt and pepper. To that, add beans, thyme, tomatoes, and stock to the pot. Once the soup is simmering, add kale and let it wilt down until it’s tender. At this point, you can add water and pasta directly to the soup or you can cook the pasta separately and just let the soup simmer while the pasta cooks. Since I would definitely have leftover soup, I cooked the pasta separately and just added it to each bowl before filling the bowls with soup. I served the soup with grated Parmesan cheese.
I was actually disappointed with this soup. It didn’t have a lot of flavor and the kale really took over everything. I could probably play with the recipe, add some more spices and less kale, which would improve the soup, but does anyone have a good recipe for minestrone?
