As you all know, I'm really, extra, super busy. That is totally not a complaint. I love being busy. I also dislike eating out for health reasons and to save money. In order to make this possible with my ridiculous work schedule, I cook in advance. On a Sunday, you will find me in the kitchen cooking massive amounts of something. This Sunday I happened to make my husband's favorite dish, homemade Minestrone Soup.

Recipe: Hearty Minestrone Soup
Tip: Since this makes for a very large pot of soup. I freeze the leftover soup for later. Do NOT freeze with the pasta otherwise the pasta will absorb all of the broth.
Ingredients
Note: Some ingredients to this hearty minestrone soup are a link to the products I use for reference.
2lbs Cheese and Parsley Sausage Ring
(1) lb Ditalini Pasta
1/2 Cup EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil
(1) 16oz Can Diced Tomatoes
(2) 8oz Cans Kidney Beans
(1) 8oz Can Cannellini Beans
(1/2) Cup Pecorino Romano GratedCheese
2.5lbs Potatoes
1 Bag Baby Carrots
2 LARGE boxes of Chicken Broth
2-3 Cups Water
1.5 Tsp Dried Oregano
2 Heavy Shakes of Red Pepper Flakes
1Tbsp Dried Parsley
1 Tbsp Dried Basil
Salt
Pepper
Ricotta Cheese (Optional)
Directions
Cut the casing off of all the sausage. Brown the sausage and separate it until it crumbles. Drain and put in a large pot. Peel and dice your potatoes and put in the pot. Cut your carrots and place in pot along with all the other listed ingredients. Make sure that all the ingredients are covered with chicken broth, if not, add 2-3 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 2 hours.
I then boil a half pound of ditalini pasta and serve it with the soup. Do not add the pasta to the large pot of soup because you will need to freeze the leftovers less the pasta. This should make for 2-3 full meals depending on how many people you are filling up. If desired, serve this hearty minestrone soup with a dollop of ricotta. ..because ricotta makes everything just that much better!
What is your favorite hearty soup?
Hahaha I hate to cook, but I was on a roll this week and got inducted into my family's Book of World Records for making dinner 4 nights in a row. I accomplished greatness and will now morph back to the slacker they all know and love. However, I will keep this recipe on standby for when I go crazy again.
ReplyDeleteHaving it ready is great indeed, especially being the busy bee you are haha

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
