I'm rewriting this review because I made the minestrone again and it is SOGOOD!
Last time I made it, the liquid disappeared within an hour or two of taking the pot off of the stove. I mean it was totally gone--like a casserole or something. So here's what I changed this time:
I used 3 potatoes, 3 carrots, 2 stalks of celery, one quite-small onion, 4 cloves garlic, 16 oz of veggie broth, 1-1/4 cups macaroni, and dried herbs instead of fresh (same quantities). All the other ingredients were the same.
I heated the olive oil and cooked the onion and garlic for maybe 5 minutes, then added the rest of the chopped veggies and let them cook together for a few minutes. I think it tastes better that way.
I had to cook longer than 30 minutes, and the macaroni took longer than 10 minutes as well.
There isn't a lot of liquid but it's much better than last time. If it disappears again I'll add more veggie broth.
Using smaller quantities of vegetables makes a much more manageable-sized soup and I don't think we'll have to throw any away this time. It also tastes better when there's more liquid.
With these modifications, I really love this recipe! Thanks Corrigan!
