There is a restaurant in nearby Southeastern Massachusetts that has this wonderful soup. They are famous for it. The name of the restaurant is Venus De Milo. I hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 13 3/4 ounces container of chicken broth ( i prefer low sodium)
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 package lipton onion soup mix
  • 2 - stalks of celery-chopped
  • 14 1/2 ounces can stewed tomatoes (chopped up)
  • 1 package frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green beans, peas)
  • 1/2 cup orzo macaroni (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce (optional)

How To Make minestrone

  • Step 1
    Brown ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Drain. Add brother, water, onion soup and celery. Boil for 20 minutes. Add tomoatoes, vegetables and orzo. (see note below re: orzo).
  • Step 2
    Boil for 15 minutes. Add worcestershire sauce (optional). May also sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top in individual serving bowls.
  • Step 3
    NOTE: orzo - may also be cooked separately - I prefer to cook it separately and spoon desired amount in individual serving bowl. This way the orzo does not absorb all the broth.
  • Step 4
    family tested and approved many times!
