Minestrone
Soffritto, vegetables, stock, starch.
Very fine dice (.5cm):
2-3 onions
4-6 carrots
6-8 stalks of celery
Rough dice (1.5cm):
Seasonal veggies
(2 zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes)
Potatoes (if any)
Start by chopping the onion, as above. Once the onion is chopped, add to the warmed soup pot with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and soften, then continue with the carrot and celery. Add two teaspoons of jar garlic to the onion, stir, and then add the celery and carrot. These will all then cook together for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally while you chop the next veggies. Add more oil if you need.
Then add the seasonal veggies, and soften for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're adding mushroom, make sure to add this first, for at least 10 minutes, then add the other veggies. Boil a full kettle.
Add two tins of chopped tomatoes (Mutti brand), two teaspoons of chicken stock powder, lots of pepper, 1 tsp mixed oregano and thyme, and cover the veggies with water. Mix. Then add another 2 inches of water. Mix. If it needs more tomato, add more tins.
Once the veggies are all well cooked (might take an additional hour), add white beans (frozen). Once thawed, add 2/3 cup small pasta (macaroni or similar). It will be ready to eat in once the pasta is cooked, in about 8-10 minutes :)
