Minestrone Soup

This was my Grandmother’s version of that great classic Italian Vegetable and Bean soup.

Just the smell of this soup invokes memories of family reunions, laughter and childhood conspiracies, and I’m immediately transported to my grandmother’s old patio, where we had this massive round table around which our family and friends dined.

This was probably the second most common soup my grandmother made – chicken soup (also on the website) probably being her most go to recipe – my grandfather would grate mounds of cheese onto his and our soup plates, and after grace, the only sounds coming from that patio table would be noisy slurping of children trying to gulp down as much of this tasty concoction as we could.

This soup is perfect for a cold Autumn or Winter dinner, as it is full of wholesome ingredients to fill you up, its best served hot to warm you up, and is filled with the goodness only  a home cooked  meal can provide.
