Fresh Minestrone with Tubettini and Vegetable Purée from Scraps

Remembering childhood and the aroma of fresh vegetables my grandfather would bring home. My mom would make a big batch and share it with everyone. It was a celebration whenever you received a container of it—whether you were in a hurry or busy with work, she was always ready to cook for us. What wonderful memories.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, clean and chop the vegetables. Place them in a colander and rinse under cold water, then set aside. In a saucepan, heat olive oil, add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion, and cook for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the rest of the vegetables, stir, and pour in 6 1/3 cups (1.5 liters) of water, along with more olive oil and salt as needed.
- 3
Add the peeled tomatoes or tomato purée, stir, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Add the potatoes, cut into chunks, and continue cooking for another 20 minutes.
- 4
Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions once the soup is boiling. Serve: some may enjoy just the vegetables, others with the pasta. It's delicious either way!
- 5
Use the vegetable scraps to make a broth: wash them, place in a pot, cover with water, and cook.
- 6
Add olive oil and a pinch of salt as needed, then blend everything to make a smooth vegetable purée. Strain the broth and freeze it for use in a roast or other dishes.

Veggie-packed Minestrone Veggie-packed Minestrone
All of my cooking centers around how to get my vegetable hating son to eat his vegetables.He especially hates raw tomatoes which is why I used canned tomatoes as the tomato base. He'll eat it if I use that.It also tastes good with wiener sausages in place of bacon.You should really boil the macaroni separately before adding, but that's so troublesome so I always boil it in the soup with the vegetables.You can make this with a wide variety of vegetables.
