MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE SOUP | |
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 carrot, halved lengthwise and sliced 2 stalks celery, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups chicken or beef broth 2 cups water 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, not drained 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped 1/4 teaspoon oregano salt and pepper to taste 1 15 oz. can cannelini or white beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup pasta bows Parmesan cheese (optional) 1 small head escarole (optional) Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, broth, water, tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. If escarole is being used, wash, tear into 2 inch pieces and add to soup 15 minutes before soup is done, or at the same time as the pasta. Add the pasta bows and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta and escarole is tender. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. I used quinoa macaroni noodles for this and added zucchini instead of escarole which I didn't have. We also had apples and toasted bread with parmesan cheese on it. We also had a friend party for Faith today so there were some cupcakes & pizza involved with that. The only thing I can claim with that is that birthdays only come once a year and I didn't eat any, does that count? Her actual birthday is tommorrow so we'll see how we do then. I need some feedback here, I'm really not feeling like there is much to read about here. |
