The minestrone I had in Japan always had tomatoes and short pasta with no beans. I had this kind at a restaurant in LAX for the first time after a long flight. I was exhausted and it comforted me so much that I made this as my homage to the soup :)

I'm Japanese living in the States. I have liked cooking since I was little because it's fun for me and I can learn new things sometimes. I'd like to share them with you here. I hope you enjoy.
