Minestrone
Butter
2 cups bacon roughly chopped
2 onions
3 tsp garlic
4 carrots
3/4 celery bunch
1 zucchini
3 cups mushrooms
4 tins chopped tomato (used 2 flavoured, 2 plain)
4 tins rinsed beans (2 red, 2 white)
1 small jar of nice passata
Beef stock
Pepper
Thyme
Oregano
Saute butter, bacon, onion and garlic until sticking/browning, add veggies and saute more. Then add everything and slow cook on stovetop 3ish hours.
Makes about 6.5L, which for us is about 8 serves (around $5/serve in 2018 for high quality ingredients, or half that if using dried beans, cheap market veggies, a stock cube, and cage bacon)
We chopped everything except the mushroom in the food processor, which made scaling it much faster than hand chopping.
