Use-up Not-exactly Minestrone Soup
Another soup (vaguely inspired by the Italian staple) using up vegetables before they “go off” and other ingredients from the larder. If I had any celery, that’d be in too. Basically, just use up any vegetables to hand. I only used the cherry tomatoes as well as the tinned coz they needed using up.
I’ve used dried herbs coz this recipe is particularly intended for those of us confined to the house and who can’t go shopping, so it’s “jump at the cupboard door” time! But of course use fresh herbs if you’ve got them. #WastenotWantnot

If you like your minestrone more soupy than chunky, add more chicken broth. Keep in mind if you save the soup to eat later, the pasta will soak up the broth. I personally think it tastes better after letting it sit overnight!

I made this soup for my contribution to the family Christmas dinner. The recipe I was using as a guideline called for the parmesan to be added while the soup was cooking, but since one of my family members is vegan, I decided to serve it on the side so those who wanted it could add it to their own. I didn't measure oil, herbs, or salt, amounts are estimates. Feel free to adjust as you need to.

Tuscan Chicken Soup Tuscan Chicken Soup
I'm a great fan of chicken soup as a natural cure for all ills, and I liked the idea of giving it an Italian twist. The original recipe uses cooked shredded chicken, but I didn't have any so I decided to buy a whole chicken, use some meat from that, use the carcass to make my own stock, and freeze whatever I didn't use for the soup. I asked the butcher to debone the chicken for me. Also, I used the last bit of my garden basil but you can use dried (as the original recipe does).
