Rich Minestrone (The Frugal Gourmet)
This is a great, hearty soup, and not a character in The Godfather (I can make that joke, I’m Italian). The Frugal Gourmet complimented this recipe with one of his favorite phrases, “This is peasant food!” You see, out of necessity, peasants used all kinds of simple and cheap ingredients, to make nourishing food for… Continue reading Rich Minestrone (The Frugal Gourmet)
