My Grandma had a lot of "bests". But the turn of weather to fall had me hankering for one of her "bests" in particular. She made the most comforting and warming pot of minestrone soup and I couldn't wait to have my home filled with its mouth-watering aroma. This was my first batch since she went home with Jesus last May. I am so thankful that she left a legacy of "bests" that allow me to drift off to memories that fill me with joy.
I hope you'll check back as I share more of these "bests", especially as we approach the Christmas season! My sisters, other family members and I are hoping to have a lefse making day soon. I'll be sure to post when it happens!
Basic contents of Gram's Minestrone Soup:
Browned ground beef w/onions, celery, carrots and garlic
Rutabaga
Potato
Cabbage
Rice
Tomatoes
Basil & Thyme (I often cheat and just use Italian seasoning with same great results)
Grate a little Parmesan cheese on top and accompany with bread. Grab a blanket, a good movie and ENJOY!
I have been making her Minestrone soup for over 40 years! And the original recipe I got did not have rutabega (sp) in it! And you MUST use the Thyme, that makes it. It's my favorite soup...........along with French Onion. YUM
