Minestrone

Minestrone

This is the version I grew up with. It's so packed with flavour and just the thing to warm you up on a cold winter's night. A good handfull of Parmesan and some crusty bread...very satisfying. I've omitted the pasta and upped the cabbage in the one pictured to lower the carb content.
