RECIPE TIPS
BREAKING SPAGHETTI

The easiest way to break the spaghetti is to wrap it in a clean tea towel and, holding it with both hands, bash it against the side of

a table to break it into small pieces.

Tinned tomatoes and frozen mixed vegetables, tasteless. Not my idea of minestrone souo. If you haven't the time to make the soup with homemade vegetable stock and fresh vegetables then just open a can, it can't be any worse than this recipe.

question

The nutritional info states 8g of protein. Is that really correct with ingredients from a little pasta and vegetables?

question

Can I freeze the soup?

Mark Mark 1

Sure, you can freeze this soup. A tupperware box makes a good container
