A COMPLETE MEAL IN A BOWL

The biggest disappointment with my family is that none of my adult children enjoy soup .
I LOVE SOUP ...nobody else does in my family .
MINESTRONE SOUP ...
With a nourishing bowl of minestrone soup , a salad and some crusty sourdough bread you have an easy , complete meal .
Heat a tbs of rice bran oil in a large pan and cook 1 peeled and chopped onion along with 1 good sized bacon rasher that have been chopped until lightly browned .
Add 1 tbs of minced garlic stirring to combine .
Pour in 1.25 litres of beef stock , 2 chopped tomatoes , 1 carrot chopped , 1 potato chopped and cubed , 1 celery stick chopped and 2 tbs of tomato paste .
Bring this mix to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes .
Add 1 sliced zucchini , 100gm of fresh green beans trimmed and sliced , 50 gm of a dried pasta shape of your choice and 2tbs of freshly torn parsley leaves .
Continue to simmer for a further 15 minutes .
Now drain 1 can of red kidney beans ( 400 gm )and add to the pan .
Heat through , ladle the soup into warmed bowls .
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top , serve immediately .
What's not to like ?
