Directions
Traditional Minestrone, This is an excellent minestrone. I got the original recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook. The original recipe called for tomato sauce. I only had spaghetti sauce on hand and I think the end result is very good. The original recipe also called for zucchini and/or eggplant which my family doesn’t care for so green beans were substituted. I reduced the amount of olive oil to make it lower in fat., I made this soup at the start of the week and then had it for lunch throughout the week. It just got better and better the longer it sat in the fridge! It’s just like the soup from any Italian restaurant, which I love. It’s my new favorite!
