Ministrone

I made a Gigantic batch of this minestrone soup (my sis-in-law Danielle's recipe). Alan was thrilled with it. Which is a good thing, because we will be eating it for days to come- it made a ton of soup!! So delish.

Ministrone

3-4 cans diced tomatoes, depending on your tastes

1 can tomato sauce

6 cups water

4 veggie boullions ( I used 4 cups of veggie stock from TJ's and it was perfect for our batch)

2 yellow onions

3 large carrots, sliced

celery, to your taste, diced

4 cloves garlic, crushed

fresh green beans
