Soup for a dreary day
Today the weather matches my mood... dreary. It's been a difficult few days. The job opportunity that I thought I had didn't pan out. So it's back to the drawing board. I've been sitting in front of the computer all day sending out resumes, writing cover letters, and stinking up the place because I just realized that I haven't showered as of yet. I need to pull myself out of this funk.
It's rainy and cloudy and dreary outside as well (boy am I a downer!). Tonight my husband has a condo board meeting, so I am going to make a nice warm soup that can great him whenever he gets a chance to eat.
I have to attribute this one to my mother-in-law, and I've never made it before. I've made other versions, but this one is new to me.
I'm going to throw some bread sticks in the oven too, snuggle up on the couch and relax.
Tomorrow for lunch I plan on making my son & I cabbage & noodles with the leftover cabbage. My mom used to make that for me as a child. Simply cook and drain pasta. In a large skillet add butter (I use brummel & brown yogurt butter), cabbage, and garlic salt. Cook until softened a bit. Add pasta, cook through. Yum!
Minestrone Soup
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 c onion, chopped
½ c celery, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp basil
1 can beef broth
1 can Bean & Bacon Soup
½ soup can water
16 oz canned tomatoes, undrained
½ c uncooked ditalini pasta
½ tsp salt
1 c cabbage, shredded
1 c zucchini, chopped
Cook onion, celery, garlic, basil, and bacon together until tender.
Stir in broth, soup, water, tomatoes, pasta, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
Add cabbage and zucchini. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mmmmmmmm sounds good!
Now as to the noodles and cabbage. Is your cabbage already cooked or are we adding it into the mix raw?
For the cabbage & noodles.. just add the cabbage chopped up, raw, to the pan. Once it wilts a bit then I add the cooked noodles and continue cooking until the cabbage is soft, and sometimes the noodles almost get a little browned in spots too. I'm not sure why I love that stuff so much.. must remind me of being a kid!
