Hello everybody.
Rainy day and I have a bad flu, a rich hot soup is a blessing in this case.I did this soup once in Ramadan but didn’t post the recipe so it’s a chance to do it again, definitely a rich aromatic tasty one.
Ingredients varied when I searched for the recipe so I consulted my dear cousin living in Rome for the original one that Italians usually do and she gave me the secret ingredient that you won’t find in any recipe but I added it after taking the photo.
Ingredients and method:
* 1 small finely chopped onion.
* 1 clove garlic.
* bunch of chopped basil.
* 1/2 cup chopped celery.
* 1 small chopped zucchini.
* 2 small chopped carrots.
* some sun dried tomatoes.
* 1/2 cup black beans.
* 1/2 cup green beans (optional )
* 2 leaves finely chopped lettuce. (secret ingredient)
* 1 can chopped tomatoes.
* 1 tsp tomato paste.
* 4 cups broth or water and cube of broth.
* 2 bay leaves.
* salt,pepper and oregano.
* 3/4 cup small shaped pasta.
* Parmesan cheese.
* saute onions,garlic,carrots,celery till tender.
* add rest of ingredients then broth and pasta and 1 tablespoon of cheese, boil then leave to simmer till done and all ingredients are tender.
* sprinkle with Parmesan cheese when served.
