Delicious 9 Vegetable Minestrone Soup $2.20 a serve

This is a great way to eat all those vegetables we should be having every day. And at around $2.20 a serve.

Recipe serves 8 which is easily halved but I say make the 8 Servings and freeze the unused serves . Just takeout from freezer the night before abd put in fridge. Then reheat in microwave or in a pot on stovetop

Ingredients​

  • 3 bacon rashers
  • 2 onions
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 potato
  • 2 parsnips
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 tomato
  • 1 cup fresh beans
  • 4 cups Beef Style Liquid Stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbs oil

Method​

  1. Dice the vegetables and bacon to approximately the same size.
  2. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a deep stockpot.
  3. Add the onion, bacon and crushed garlic and stir for two minutes.
  4. Add the carrot, potato, pumpkin and parsnip. Continue to stir for a few more minutes.
  5. Add the beef stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the zucchini, tomato, beans and water, and simmer until all vegetables are tender.
  7. Add more water if necessary

NOTES

You can use just about any combination of vegetables for this soup, but this one seems to work well.
Frozen beans can also be used. I often substitute the beans for frozen peas and/or corn depending on what I have around.
You can also add a can of drained red kidney beans if you want some more protein.
