Something to warm you up

The cold is beginning to nip at your nose and "Old Man Winter" looms just around the corner. Here's a recipe to warm your tummy.

Minestrone Soup

6 1/2 c. marinara sauce
2 c. beef broth
1 c. red wine
1 med. onion, chopped
1/4 c. celery leaves, chopped
1 c. chopped celery
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 1/2 c. chopped cabbage
1 (14-16 oz.) can kidney or great northern beans (drained)
Pepper

Combine the sauce and broth and heat until it reaches a low boil. Add veggies, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes or until all veggies are tender. Add the beans and simmer for 1-2 hours. Serve over pasta and top with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Wonderful with garlic bread.

I had a wonderful weekend, and will try to post about tomorrow. How was your weekend?
