Minestrone

Having fresh peas and beans in my kitchen from the garden made me think of Minestrone. I was feeling adventurous so I just came up with this recipe on my own. The only thing I did with a recipe was look one up to see what spices to put in. It has such fresh taste.

1/4 large onion chopped

2 t. oil

3 carrots peeled and chopped

1 clove garlic minced

3/4 quart bottled tomatoes

2 t. beef base

3/4 cup water

1 small bowl green beans

1 small bowl peas

1 can corn

1/2 T. basil

1/2 T. dried rosemary

4 baked potatoes peeled and chopped

Salt to taste

Add onion, carrot into warm oil and saute for about 6 min. Turn to low heat and add garlic. Add tomatoes, and every other ingredient, besides the potatoes. Simmer for 10 min or until cooked through. Turn to low and add potatoes.
