1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon rosemary

1/3 cup turnip, peeled and diced
1/4 cup red kidney beans, cooked
1/4 cup navy beans, cooked
2 tablespoons pasta
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon barley
1 tablespoon split peas
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 cup cabbage, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat bacon fat in heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add next ten ingredients and cook until vegetables soften, stirring frequently.
  • Add flour to form a roux, stirring until smooth.
  • Add all remaining ingredients; cover and cook for about 50 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For the pasta, I have seen them use ABC's and 123's, but any pasta should do. For the beef stock, I use a high quality beef base and water. I of course work for a company that makes high quality beef bases.

HOMEMADE VEGETABLE SOUP

This is pretty close to what my mom used to make. I've always thought of it as healthy and filling. There is no meat and very little fat in this recipe. I created this recipe on a cold and rainy winter day on which it definitely hit the spot.

ITALIAN-STYLE VEGETABLE SOUP



Italian-style Vegetable Soup image

There are as many versions of vegetable soup in Italy as there there are cooks. Pancetta - Pancetta is the same cut of pork as bacon. It is cured with salt and is not smoked. It comes rolled up like a large salami. Widely used in Italian cooking, especially in Emilia-Romagna, it is vital to many dishes. If available, buy a large quantity. Cut into several pieces and freeze it. You can substitute domestic bacon for pancetta. It must be blanched in boiling water for two three minutes to reduce the smoky flavour. Fresh side pork can also be used.
