I haven't written about food in months, I think, so in the absence of something truly bizarre, I'll share something improvised. I like minestrone, but I suspect that it's probably one of those "throw in whatever you've got handy" dishes. Whether my suspicions are accurate or not, this is definitely a "hmmm... what's in the freezer and cupboard" sort of soup.
Ingredients in this little jewel include:
- 2-3 cups of beef broth (I didn't measure, it was about half the carton)
- 1/4 cup of beer (the bottle was open, so why not)
- a suitable number of turkey meatballs (from the grocery store's frozen case)
- a cup or so of multi-colored whole-wheat elbow noodles
- a can of diced tomatoes
- some frozen lima beans
- Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
And the process is delightfully simple. Put everything in the pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, cover and simmer over low heat for about twenty minutes. That's all.

That looks awesome. Except for the lima beans.
I used to wonder whether anyone actually ate lima beans. Then I had my daughter, and she loves them. So weird.
Oh, I would never dream of eating lima beans by themselves, but mixed in with this they're no worse than the occasional green pea or soybean.
