This is my Mother-in- law's recipe for Italian Minestrone soup. She was a first generation Italian and cooked very much like the Old Country masters! Ingredients:
1 large onion |
2 garlic cloves |
1/2 cup fresh parsley |
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef |
1 napa cabbage |
2 stalks celery (sliced) |
1/4 lb fresh green beans |
3 carrots (diced) |
2 zucchini (diced) |
8 ounces split peas (soaked) |
1/2 cup pinto beans (soaked) |
14 ounces stewed tomatoes |
3 whole tomatoes (diced) |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
1 swiss chard |
2 cups potatoes |
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in large pot. Add enough water to bring to 1/2 of the pot and bring to boil. 2. Add remainder of ingredients and bring to boil again. 3. Lower to simmer and continue to cook for 2-4 hours. Season and serve. |
