OH MY GOSH, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I have been through bouts of what I would only call the “worst flu in history”! I am actually starting to eat again and the first thing I want is soup, soup, and more SOUP! After raiding the fridge, I found a combination of various veggies that I had in the keeper and leftover chicken breasts from a meal that I made Friday. The little voice in my head told me to immediately make minestrone. Now, minestrone is the kind of ltalian soup where you can put everything but kitchen sink in there. You can have meat in it, or you can choose to make it vegetarian. Doesn’t matta. It’s Mine-makehoweveryoulikeit-strone! And here’s mine…
Minestrone
Ingredients:
1 package of shredded cabbage (aka coleslaw mix)
3 carrots, sliced into coins
1 red onion, halved and sliced thinly,
3 stalks of celery, sliced
2 cans of diced tomatoes, juice and all goes in ( I used one regular and one fire-roasted)
1 package of frozen green beans
2 leftover chicken breasts, or fresh chicken breast sliced thinly (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups vegetable stock
1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp of fresh cracked pepper
MAKING DA SOUP:
I literally threw all the ingredients in the crockpot on high for 4-5 hours. And oh my god, it was delicious.
Bon appétit!
