1 onion
2-3 carrots
2 potatoes
2-3 celery sticks
1 fennel heart
1 red pepper
1-2 tomatoes (optional)
Canillini beans
2 bayleaves
salt and pepper suit to taste.
2qt water
cook/simmer for 1-2hr
I muck around with it sometimes... thrown siracha, hot peppers, sausage in it to varying degrees of tastiness.
I generally sauté the onions, celery and fennel together then add the rest. It can all be done in one pot for convenience.
- prawn 5y agoYou could easily tweak this to be similar to something I grew up with, from Slovenia: https://www.tasteatlas.com/manestra https://www.tasteatlas.com/manestra Maybe cook longer and blend some of it to thicken it up. Ours typically had pork and Polish sausage added, plus this type of pasta: https://www.google.com/search?q=Ditalini&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch https://www.google.com/search?q=Ditalini&safe=off&source=lnm... It's similar to what Italians would know of as Pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans) but obviously varies by region, even village by village.
- voidfunc 5y agoVery familiar with pasta fagioli (Italian heritage). Ill check this out tho, thanks!
- faeyanpiraat 5y agoIf you cook the pasta in the soup, it will significantly shorten its shelf life. Better cook it separately and add it to the current portion you are eating.
- tomcooks 5y agoPasta e fagioli, o coi fagioli If it's about heritage get it right, it's worth it.
- federiconafria 5y agoThe funny thing is that we call that minestra in Italy. I keep being pleasantly surprised by how food is just different shades when you move from country to country...
- top_kekeroni_m8 5y agoThat's just a weird Croatian name - it's mostly called minestra everywhere.. :)
- highhedgehog 5y agoI'm italian and thank you for reminding me that we have that deliciousness. I don't know why I don't make it more often.
- pelario 5y agoDo you just keep it on the refrigerator for the whole week or do you freeze it ?
- zo1 5y agoWhy freeze it if you keep it in the fridge for just one week? Depending on what it is, but generally most things last just fine for a week or more in the fridge.
- ckdarby 5y agoThey're probably asking because it depends on the quantity they're making. I had a friend who asked me if he could freeze the soup recipe I sent him and while confused I told him it shouldn't be an issue. Later on I'm visiting and he tells me he's making that soup. I walk into the kitchen to see a 40qt/37L pot being cooked. No wonder why he was asking if he could freeze it because the poor fella would have needed to eat 3L of soup a day to finish before it went bad if he didn't freeze it.
- voidfunc 5y agoIt keeps fine in the fridge for two weeks.
- busymom0 5y agoIt reminds me of this recipe: https://youtu.be/3DxS-CIJFj8 https://youtu.be/3DxS-CIJFj8
- Havoc 5y agoGet a pressure cooker and cut it down to 30 mins...with bonus that you don't need to watch it because it switches to keep warm after timer
