The peasant's minestrone
Vegetable soup
Italian cuisine
(Good for the mind as well as the appetite) Lately I have been rereading some of Angelo Pellegrini's books.(1904-1991) He was an Italian immigrant who became a college professor at the University of Washington. ..an English professor no less! I knew some who had taken classes from him and they described him as one of the most dynamic and much loved teachers . In his books he most eloquently writes about the pleasure of growing and making your own food. He even made his own wine with grapes sent to him by Robert Mondavi. One of the recipes he loosely describes in his first book, The Unprejudiced Palate is a minestrone soup. This is my version inspired by a great man who always referred to himself as a peasant.
