I used to have this recipes and it was great.
Now I have lost it and am hoping someone can send it in. Thanx
Olive Garden Minestrone
1 cup each: finely minced celery, onion, and carrot
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup each: garbanzo beans, kidney beans, whole dried peas, white pea
beans
3/4 cup carrots sliced
3/4 cup onion coarsely chopped
3/4 cup celery sliced
3/4 cup bell pepper chopped
1/2 cup rice or barley
1 cup shell macaroni
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Parmesan cheese
Slowly saute finely minced onion, celery and carrot in butter until very
brown. Add peas and beans and about 3 quarts of water. Cook slowly until
beans are almost done (check garbanzos - they take longest) about 2 to 2
1/2 hours. Add the remaining vegetables, rice and spices and more water
if necessary and cook another hour. About 20 minutes before serving time
add the macaroni and more water if needed. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle
with Parmesan cheese. Pepper to taste.
