Minestrone Like Carrabbas
start with a basic Mire poix (diced onions, carrots, and celery) and garlic, they are first sweated in unsalted butter and extra virgin olive oil.
Then green beans, cabbage, and zucchini are added and softened.
Then you add soup stock (vegetable or chicken) bay leaves, salt, pepper, potatoes, diced tomatoes, ham hock, and a chunk of Romano cheese. Allow to cook until potatoes are soft.
Remove the cheese rind and ham hock, and add cannellini beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans (all canned with their juices), stir in grated Romano and serve.
If you are vegetarian you can leave out the ham hock, but it does add a depth of flavour that is yummy. :)
