Mama Mia's Minestrone Recipe
This minestrone is a hearty vegetable soup, built on a base of sautéed onion and celery, with a rich tomato and beef broth. Bacon is cooked first, and its rendered fat is used to sauté the aromatics, adding a layer of savory depth to the soup. Northern beans, cabbage, carrots, and green beans simmer until tender, then macaroni is added to cook directly in the broth, making it a substantial meal.
