It's a great way go get one's veggies. I'm OK, Lucretia. Thank you for asking. Turns out I don't have T2 diabetes, but may have peripheral neuropathy (nod to Wayne). I get tested in May. The good news is, my diet has improved tremendously and I've lost 20 lbs. Making some more "not bobs soup" today. ;) nb |

Well that's good news, can't believe you're putting anything in the soup that could be harmful. I visit a old lady of 97 and usually take her soup so she has her lunch for the next day. Yours is top of the list in her likes over chicken and beef soups. |

Please/thanks :) Can do! Note that minestrone means "spring vegetables" or some such nonsense. So, this means you can sub in any veggie you like. I sometimes add cabbage, but always gotta have carrots n' onions. Seems I left something outta the recipe, but can't recall what it is, now. ************* notbob's Monster Minestrone 5-6 med carrots 2 med yel onion (or 1 lrg wht) 5-6 clv garlic 2 ozs olive oil 1 can diced tomato 5-6 C beef stock 2/3 C red wine 6-8 ozs proscuitto 1 can cannelloni or white beans (w/ juice) 3 zuchs (qrtr lngthwz, then chop bitesize) 2 bay leaves 1 T thyme fresh basil (opt) 1 handfull small elbo macaroni S&P (opt) Peel and chop carrots to no larger than spoon size. Diagonal cut looks nice. Course chop onions. Dice garlic. In OO, saute carrots, onions, garlic till onions translucent. Add stock, can of tomatoes, wine, proscuitto, thyme and bayleaf. Mash half the can of beans. Do not drain liquid. That's perfectly good bean juice! Let simmer 15 mins or until carrots are about half done. Add zuchs. When zuchs almost done (15-30 mins), add macaroni or other pasta you may prefer. When pasta tender, it should be done. NOTES: Naturally, you can use any beef stock combo you prefer, but it must be beef. Chicken stock sucks. Veggie if you prefer, but then it's not notbob's minestrone, is it!? I use one can of stock plus 4 C water and T of Better'n Bullion. Note, it must be carrot heavy. More carrots can't hurt. Only one taboo. NO celery!! Also, I discovered years ago that it should have some proscuitto. Even cheapo US brand. Learned that little trick at an very old Italian deli. I've since discovered hard Italian salami will sub for the proscuitto. Makes all the difference. Fresh basil is always better, but I can't always get it in Winter. Not using it will not hurt this zuppa. No parsley, sage, rosemary, Ital seasoning, etc. This is not a Simon and Garfunkle song! A good red wine like chianti or zin, preferably, but any good red will do. If whole thyme, rub between hands into pot. Doneness is always determined by the tenderness of the carrots and zukes. Skim while sim. Add water as needed. Makes about 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 qts. Top with parmesan cheese and serve with red wine and buttered SF sourdough bread. Donate all remaining cans of Progresso Minestrone to those less fortunate! ************* Enjoy. =D nb |

It's a great way go get one's veggies. Just in case you didn't get my tease to her. I wasn't talking about her eating your soup via your recipe. I was joking like she had sneaked into your house and ate your soup while you weren't at home. :) |

Jes remember the "no celery" rule and some red wine. I make mine heavy on the carrots simply cuz I once tasted a minestrone at a resto that was primarily carrots and little else, but was still excellent. BTW, the doc was so ready to get me over to the hospital and have an EMG done, I hadda re-phone his nurse to ask if I actually had T2 diabetes. She acted surprised and said, "Your blood sugar readings look fine." That's it!? Five vials of blood and "Your blood sugar readings look fine"?? Of course they look fine! I quit drinking and have been on a strict T2 diet fer 5 wks! BTW, that's how I lost 20 lbs. Anywho, the doc's nurse also sed I should take 1mg of folate and 1000mg of vitamin B12, daily, then tell them how I feel in 6 wks. I don't know what he's up to, but I think I'm his lab rat. I don't trust 'supplements'. They smack of "nutritionism", a bogus concept if ever there was one! ;) nb |

The B-12 made a big difference in my life. A doctor had a surgery room all booked for me to install a stent because he 'knew' I had cancer. My doctor came in about then and said I had pernicious anemia. I'm not saying that is what you have, just saying take the supplement. These vitamins really do have a purpose in our body. Without the B-12 I would die. Janet US |

He absorbs only through his cranium. All his life he has fed himself by sticking his head up another person's butt and waiting for the absorption of his food to occur. When he was an infant, his mammy didn't give him a tit or bottle ... she just stuck his head up her bum for 20 minutes. Pulled it out only if she had to fart (she didn't want to blow out his fragile 30 cell brain). |

Anyway, better "supplements" than an actual prescription fer meds. The doc recommended 1mg of folate (folic acid) and 1000mg of B12. I'm taking it and it appears to be working. The numbness in my feet appears to be diminishing (doc sed to report back after 3 mos). I now worry about the consistency of the supplements. Am I really getting 200mcg (that's 'micro' grams) per tablet? OTOH, the clinic my doc works out of sez I definitely DO NOT have T2 diabetes. ???? I'm still on a diabetes-like diet. No sugars, no processed foods, NO carbs! It's almost an Atkins Diet. But, that's only cuz most processed food puts SOOOO much sugar in their carbs (plus, carbs break down into glucose, another form of sugar). ;) nb |
