Minestrone Soup

This is my own recipe. I love this soup in the winter, it fills you up and keeps you warm and toasty.

2 Small Potatoes, peeled and chopped
10 Mini Carrots or 2 Regular Carrots, peeled and chopped
1 Med. Onion, peeled and chopped
1 Can Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
2 T. Italian Seasoning
3 T. Garlic, Chopped
8 C. Water
12 Chicken Bullion Cubes
1 Can Tomato Paste
1 Zucchini, half peeled, chopped
1 Yellow Squash, half peeled and chopped
3/4 C. Mini Shell Noodles 
(Don't use more or they will soak up all the liquid and you won't have soup anymore)

  1. In a Large pot add all ingredients and bring to a boil 
  2. Lower temperature and simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Serve with cheese toast. Yumm!!
*Tip
When I say "half peeled" I peel a strip down the entire side then leave a strip then peel a strip and so on.That way you still have the nice green peel but not all the hardness from it. As you can see in the picture.

  1. I'm gonna try this recipe in the next few days, because I have a good one, but I'm guessing yours is better...
