Italian-Style Lunch

For this quick Italian-style lunch, my cousin and I had some homemade minestrone soup, accompanied by a mushroom and cheese panini, and an iceberg salad with balsamic vinaigrette.

Thought I'd share ^^

MINESTRONE RECIPE

  Ingredients

• 1/2 to 1 block tofu
• 1 can white beans in tomato sauce
• 2-3 tomatoes, diced
• vegetable broth (I just cooked some diced carrots and celery in water, adjusted with salt, and used it all into the soup)
• seasoning
• 1 small zucchini, diced
• ~40g small pasta (macaroni, etc.)

  Procedure

1. In a large saucepan, crumble and cook tofu with seasoning over medium heat.
2. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  Tips

     If, like me, you tend to not have broth laying around, and want to add more vegetables to the minestrone, you can do the following: Dice up some carrots and celery, and cook them in water. Adjust the broth flavor with salt, and add it all together into the soup.
