Summary: The best minestrone!!!!
Review: Several years ago there was piece in the Boston Globe magazine/food section called "Big Soup". In it there were 3 different minestrone soup recipes by Carlo Middione(La Vera Cucina:Traditional Recipes from the Homes and Farms of Italy). These soups are SPECTACULAR!!!! I just purchased the book today. I don't yet know about the rest of his recipes,but if these soups are any indication, the rest of the book must be wonderful!
