meggy's minestrone

here's a recipe that i've adapted a bit from a new cookbook (Market Vegetarian). next time i make it, i'll take pics. don't forget crusty bread for dipping....and a glass of red wine or two

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 yellow onion, chopped

4 oz green beans, (big handful) cut into thirds

3 oz whole wheat spaghetti, (medium handful) broken into thirds

can of garbanzo beans, (or a little less than a can) rinsed

6 roma tomatoes, quartered

6 cups vegetable stock (low sodium if you can find it)

s&p to taste

grated parmesan for topping

heat 2 tbls olive oil in a large pot. add onion, stir often for 5 mins

add garlic, cook 1 min, stir often

add stock, tomatoes, garbanzos, green beans, spaghetti, s&p

bring to a boil

reduce heat, let simmer for 45 mins, stirring often

yay! that's the first recipe i think i've ever written out :)
