Directions
Quick Minestrone Soup, I cook this every winter. I’ve made it as an small entree when I have dinner parties or a main meal for the family. I often get comments about how yummy it is and how filling it is. I leave out the prosciutto as I only eat poultry and seafood. This recipe comes from a book called ‘Quick Meals’ – The good taste collection, Volume 3 by Anneka Manning, Hi, I’m looking for the “borlotti” beans. I could use another bean no problem but is there another name for the bean. Maybe an American name. We have 4 or 5 names for the white bean. The borlotti bean sounds interesting. Thanks in advance for your help !
