Preparing the Minestrone Soup

Once done sauteing, place this mixture into a large soup pot
then add tomatoe paste, water, carrots, peas, fresh rosemary,
beef broth, and cabbage. Bring this mixture to a boil.
Now lower the heat, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
We are cooking now. Add in the kidney beans and macaroni,
then cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

A Tradition
This Minestrone Recipe will be a family favorite all year round.
Long ago when I was young, we made it for a Christmas Eve.
It has now become a Christmas tradition for our family,
that we have our Minestrone soup,
Then we open our presents.
