My Hearty Minestrone.

I've never really liked minestrone, though, I only ever had it at restaurants.  But today was a chilly day and soup sounded good for my insides.  I absolutely had no idea how much I would love this homemade version!  It was great and very filling.  Everything I put into the pot (which, by the way, was an astronomical amount of food) made my mouth water.  Let's see, there were onions, celery, carrots, green beans, cannelloni beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, vegetable juice, cabbage (!!!), noodles, and seasonings.

It was super amazing and thick.  There were as many veggies and beans as there was liquid which I REALLY appreciated.  There's nothing more annoying than soupy soup.  It had great flavor and texture and everything.  This would be a great meal for large gatherings and big families because we have some very serious leftovers.  We'll be eating this for a few days.  

A good meal!
