Minestrone Soup

When I was a kid, we'd go to the same Italian restaurant when we traveled to the big city. I always ordered the same thing: Minestrone Soup. My son ordered it from a restaurant recently and asked if I could make it at home. Sure I can!

Ingredients:

1 box of Chicken Broth

1 onion, diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

3 zucchini, diced

3 yellow squash, diced

1 bag of baby carrots, diced

2 cans of Italian Style diced tomatoes

1 can of kidney beans

1 can of cannellini beans

1/2 box Ditalini pasta

1-2 teaspoons oregano - not accurate since I just shake it in

1-2 teaspoons basil - not accurate since I just shake it in

1-2 teaspoons Italian Herb - not accurate since I just shake it in

Salt & Pepper to taste

Parmesan cheese to top

Saute your onion & garlic

Add the rest of your diced veggies and simmer until softened

Cook your pasta a reserve

Add chicken stock, cans of diced tomatoes and beans, herbs and simmer

A hearty soup for our turn of weather this week!
