Grey Day

Spring is in the air...

because it hasn't stopped raining all day, and we had our first thunderstorm/tornado warning this morning at 5:30am!!!

OH boy!!

I say the solution to a grey and rainy day is...

SOUP!!

Minestrone in Minutes

 

1 lb keilbasa, sliced

1 c. chopped onion

1 can (16 oz) diced tomatoes, with liquid

2 sm. zucchini, cubed

3 beef bouillon cubes

3 c. water

2 c. finely chopped cabbage

1 can (15.8 oz) great northern beans, undrained

1 tsp. dried basil

1 T. chopped fresh parsley

Grated parmesan cheese

 

In a large pot, brown sausage and onion until onion is tender. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese. Simmer 1 hour. sprinkle with cheese.

 

Yield: 2 qts

 

*note: we usually use less meat and add more veggies...as in we keep the meat amount the same, and double everything else. :)

I actually love rainy days. 

Any excuse to eat soup, I say. 

And to stay home, drink tea, and read in my quiet attic room, with the rain pitter-pattering on the roof. :)
