Prosciutto Fave Minestrone alla Riso image

This ham, bean and rice soup is my favorite and it is a hearty dinner soup. Sprinkle bowls of soup with Parmesan cheese and serve hot. Serve extra cheese at the table. Offer crusty, Italian bread with the soup. You may substitute macaroni for the rice.

Not bad, but I've had better minestrone.

Soup was tasty, but a little too salty for my liking.

This minestrone was hearty and flavorful, with the prosciutto adding a nice salty touch. I used frozen fava beans, which worked just fine. Will definitely make again!
