Okay, this is one of my best recipes, and I'm giving it out! Alright, it's actually not mine, but I found it and use it a lot during the fall and winter. The actual recipe is called "Minestrone Soup like Carrabba's". So it's actually a white minestone soup. Wow, I'm using the words actually and actual a lot, aren't I? Anyway, it's good. So good, that my grandma always asks for us to "save" her some. And my grandma is a picky eater (sorry Grandma!). It calls for a variety of veggies, but I always make it with different ones based on what I have etc. Although I always put green cabbage in it. Last week we got some green cabbage with our share and had a ton of zucchini to use, so zucchini and cabbage soup is was... Plus the weather has been on the cooler side. Some times I add the beans, this time I did not. I also never use the prosciutto ham, but you could if you wanted. But the secret is in the romano cheese rind. You have to use this for flavor. I made it once without it, and it wasn't as good. You can get it in the specialty cheese section. It's not really expensive; the rinds put me back 90 cents. And for some reason we only find it at Wegmans. It also calls for a bay leaf. So after the soup is done simmering, you have to fish out the cheese rinds and bay leaf before serving. I also like to add a splash of cream, just because. But just a splash. Enjoy!
