HOMESTYLE MINESTRONE SOUP
This soup is so hearty and filling, but very healthy and low cal! We gobbled this up in two days! I chose not to add any pasta-the potatoes giving enough starch for me. If I decided to add 1 1/2 cups small pasta, i think i would cook it half-way, then add it at last 10 minutes and possibly add another 1/4 cup of water. This can also be made vegetarian by omitting the ground chuck. Enjoy!!!

Steps:
- Browning ground chuck and seasonings in a medium-large frying pan, drain and set aside.
- Simmer the kidney beans in a small sauce pan (The beans will crack open in about 20 minutes).
- Chop, then saute the fresh vegetables in the olive oil, using a large stew pot, covered (about an 8 qt pot would be perfect).
- When the onions and celery are somewhat clear, add the water, potatoes, and seasonings to the stew pot.
- Cook on high heat til it comes to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium, cover and slowly boil for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are done.
- Add the cabbage and let it cook, covered, for another 5-8 minutes, or until the potatoes seem to be half-cooked.
- Add the ground chuck, kidney beans, and the remaining ingredients, bring to bubbling, then simmer for 10-15 minutes more, or until potatoes are done.
- Don't allow the potatoes to cook too much or they will just fall apart.
- Serve steaming hot with crackers& crusty buttered bread.
- Sprinkle some parmesean cheese ontop, if you want.
- For all you vegetarians, simply omit the ground chuck, cut down 1- 1/2 cups of water and I think it would taste great!
- I hope you all enjoy my soup!
