This is my mom's recipe for minestrone soup. It's delicious and so hearty and rich! I usually double the Recipe and freeze half of it for those cold winter days :) Ingredients:
1 package stew beef 1/2 cup flour dash of salt and pepper 1 Tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoon olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups broth ( veggie or beef ) 1 (15oz) can tomato sauce 1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 2 medium carrots 1 medium zucchini, chopped 1 large potato, chopped 1/4 cup fresh parsley 1 teaspoon basil, dried 1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried 1/4 teaspoon pepper salt to taste 1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni 1) Put flour and salt and pepper in ziplock bag, shake and place stew beef in bag one at a time. Shake bag with each beef your drop in the bag to coat all sides of meat. 2) Once all the meat has been coated, heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat until hot. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and coat pan. Add your beef one at a time at least 1/2 inch apart and brown on all sides. 3) Meanwhile, get a stock pot and heat on medium heat, add the broth and the beef that is cooked, followed by your spices. 4) Once beef is finished cooking, wipe out skillet with paper towel and add your 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 mins. 5) Now add the cooked onion and garlic to the stock pot along with all of your chopped veggies, beans and tomato sauce. Heat on medium heat for 15 mins, you should have a nice steady simmer, stir occasionally. 6) Increase heat until soup reaches a cheerful boil. Add macaroni and cook another 20 mins. Enjoy!
