Here on Shady Lane, It is snowing , again! The birds and squirrels were out again this morning. The squirrel did not get much.
Yesterday I made Minestrone Soup which I had wanted to do for a while. I followed a recipe but then of course , made a few changes. I use our own tomatoes sauce which was free . We got the tomatoes at the end of the summer at a farm stand. The man said he could not sell them , But we found enough to make 5 jars of tomato sauce.
The recipe was in in All You magazine- I did not use kale or escarole ( that was the only item I did not have) I did use some cabbage that I cut up finely- It was the cheapest green I could find.
So now we have soup for the week for lunches or light dinners, The recipe said it serves six . We got two containers so I think it will be more like 8 servings. And the cost was-- around $3.00 total.
