It is coming to my attention that when all the ingredients are perfected and collected for a series of little soups, there is an elephant remaining in the kitchen: the Big Soup! That's what minestrone means - big soup. There in the bottom of the soup pot is a dense, tasty, and nutritious thick broth filled with seasoning vegetables. Add some beans and some greens and there you have it: the Big Soup! So now what's on the menu? Choose 1-4 little soups... or just order a big bowl of big soup, giant economy size. Served with pasta, potatoes, or rice.
Next thing you know we'll be having cheese toast on the side.
I need to look at bowls at the Restaurant Supply Store.
In keeping with eco-friendly ways of doing things - if there is a GoodWill, Sally Army or thrift store in the neighborhood, please consider looking at them out first for purchases of items to use with your project.
ReplyDeleteYou can often find good quality nifty sets of housewares at pennies on the new retail dollar price. And anytime you can buy something already made, that is less resource uses needed from our strained planet.
