HOMESTYLE MINESTRONE SOUP

Steps:

• Browning ground chuck and seasonings in a medium-large frying pan, drain and set aside.
• Simmer the kidney beans in a small sauce pan (The beans will crack open in about 20 minutes).
• Chop, then saute the fresh vegetables in the olive oil, using a large stew pot, covered (about an 8 qt pot would be perfect).
• When the onions and celery are somewhat clear, add the water, potatoes, and seasonings to the stew pot.
• Cook on high heat til it comes to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium, cover and slowly boil for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are done.
• Add the cabbage and let it cook, covered, for another 5-8 minutes, or until the potatoes seem to be half-cooked.
• Add the ground chuck, kidney beans, and the remaining ingredients, bring to bubbling, then simmer for 10-15 minutes more, or until potatoes are done.
• Don't allow the potatoes to cook too much or they will just fall apart.
• Serve steaming hot with crackers& crusty buttered bread.
• Sprinkle some parmesean cheese ontop, if you want.
• For all you vegetarians, simply omit the ground chuck, cut down 1- 1/2 cups of water and I think it would taste great!
• I hope you all enjoy my soup!

• After 30 minutes has passed, add the diced zucchini. Cook for 5 minutes more. Near the end of the cooking time, add the reserved pasta and allow it to heat in the soup for 1-2 minutes.
