Carole's Quick Minestrone Soup

Here's another Fill 'n' Slim Soup, courtesy of my friend Carole ...
[not distressed at the moment but as soon as I hear of anything ...]

Chop: Onion / Carrots / Celery / Turnip

[Add Garlic only if you want to taste Garlic and not the vegetables - and if you don't intend kissing anyone for a couple of days ... Sorry about Garlic rant - I'ts my pet hate - sure Garlic's not always needed in as many recipes as it occurs ... it seems to have become a habit - Yes, I know it's supposed to be good for you - they'll be putting it in cup cakes next. That reminds me, where is my daughter with her cup-cake recipes .... ??? hint hint ...]

Soften vegetables in Butter [yes, that's right, butter]

Add Chicken Stock Cube, Water

Cook till nearly soft

Add Tin Chopped Tomatoes / Tomato Puree

Cook a bit more

Add a handful of pasta [any kinda pasta that's lying around in your kitchen]

Cook 5 mins, till pasta cooked

Season to taste

Eat !!! Enjoy !!!

Jill and Carole
