Lots of fresh vegetables and elbow macaroni in a hearty chicken stock are the stars of this standard minestrone. The recipe calls for only minced garlic, dried parsley, and salt for seasoning -- great when you are using really fresh and flavorful produce

INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Melt butter or margarine in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots; saute for a few minutes.
  • Add beans, cabbage, tomatoes, tomato paste, potato, stock, garlic, parsley, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for approximately 1 hour until vegetables are barely tender.
  • Add pasta, and simmer for 30 minutes more. Correct seasoning, and serve hot with grated cheese.
