   Minestrone is a good clean the frig sort of soup.  A few days ago my son and his girlfriend came over for the purpose of making this spectacular minestrone soup recipe that she had found posted on Pinterest.  She tweaked a few things and consequently you have the recipe below.  The original calls for 4 links of Italian sausage, but you can also use Amy's chicken sausage or make it completely vegetarian.  This minestrone is fabulous!



MINESTRONE SOUP
1. Prepare veggies:
(1)  Chop up 1 yellow onion.
(2)  Chop 2 stalks of celery.
(3)  Coarsely chop up 2 carrots
(4)  Chop up 1 small zucchini.
(5)  Rinse 2 cups of spinach
(6)  Mince 1 T of garlic.


2.  Saute veggies:  Put 2 T of oil in a large skillet and saute the onion for 2-3 minutes and then add the garlic, carrots and celery.  Saute for a few minutes.  If you want you can add some sliced Amy's Chicken Sausage.

3.  Meanwhile prepare the soup: 
(1)  Put 8 cups of chicken/vegetable stock into a soup pot,  2 t of salt, 1/2 t pepper, 1/2 t basil, and 1/2 t oregano and bring it to a boil.

(2)    Then  add two 15 oz cans of whole tomatoes, 1 can of drained green beans, 1 15 oz can of kidney beans, 1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans, and the spinach and let simmer for 15 minutes. You may need to add a cup more of chicken/veggie stock if it's too thick.

(3)   Add 1 cup of gluten free pasta and let the soup cook until the noodles are tender. 

(4)  Taste and adjust any seasonings.
