This is a recipe that my mom got from a friend. My mom made this Mama Mia’s minestrone soup a little bit ago and brought me some. I snapped a picture before I ate it. It was so yummy I had to share this recipe. Plus, if I made it no one in my house would eat it. The soup has too many veggies for my family. I absolutely loved it. This minestrone soup is a little different because it all starts with some bacon, which gives this soup wonderful flavor. Delish!
Add in the stewed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato juice, white beans, green beans, carrots, cabbage, water, thyme, basil, and oregano. Bring to to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Simmer until vegetables are tender.
Then add the macaroni. Cook until macaroni is tender. Top each bowl with Parmesan cheese to serve.
I made this soup last weekend. I omitted the cabbage as that’s just not my thing. It was wonderful! So many vegetables and that little hint of bacon flavor really adds a lot. My only suggestion is that you cook the pasta separately as the noodles absorb so much of the liquid after you refrigerate the left-overs. I am going to make this and the Chicken Enchilada soup over Christmas when I have a house-full of family.

How big are the cans of tomato juice? How finely do you chop the cabbage?

Also,
if you can get it from the grocery store cheese counter a piece of parmesan cheese rind in the soup as it cooks adds great flavor!

Do you know what I could substitute for the cabbage as I don’t like it? Also, what meat could be used with this?

Mmmm, sounds yummy. With the cabbage, how finely do you shred it? I couldn’t see it in the picture, so I was just wondering. Thanks!
