Recipe: Minestrone 22 May 2008 10:05 am
Posted by Tracy in : cooking, recipes, soup, vegan, vegetarian , 1 comment so farThere’s a minestrone special on at Morning Glory this week, and it’s all right, but I would’ve made it even better. (Sorry, Gail.) Turns out I have a pretty specific idea in my head about minestrone — brothy tomato-vegetable soup with Italian seasonings (by which I mostly mean herbs like basil and oregano), some kind of light-colored bean, and maybe pasta. We’re talking serious Tracy comfort food, the kind I associate so strongly with warm fuzzies that just the idea of it was enough to make me fall in love with this picture of Chiara (ok, the swooning was not hurt by the fact that Chiara is awesome and that picture is really cute, but I digress). Maybe my notion of minestrone is so non-traditional as to be heretical, in which case I’m really sorry, but it’s going to be a while before I can stop using the word, even if it does not mean what I think it means. But I digress. (more…)
