Recipe Introduction


Poster replys "I got this out of a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, been making it over 10 years. I usually double it. Easy & very tasty!!"


List of Ingredients





1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. olive oil
3 c. beef broth
1 16-ounce can tomatoes, cut up
2 T. fresh parsley
2 t. dried basil, crushed
1 t. dried oregano, crushed
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1/4 t. pepper
2 c. fresh veggies (any combination of uncooked cubed potatoes, carrots, broccoli)
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 ounce spaghetti, broken (about 1/2 c.)
1/4 c. Parmesan or Romano cheese

Heat olive oil and cook the onion and chopped celery until tender, add garlic. Stir in beef broth, tomatoes-undrained, parsley, basil, oregano, bay leaf, salt & pepper and the veggies. Bring to boiling, reduce heat & cover, simmer for about 30 minutes. Add the kidney beans and broken spaghetti and cook until the spaghetti is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve each serving with grated cheese.

*I add canned veggies sometimes too.
