Homemade Minestrone Soup Recipe

From My Family To Yours

Nothing says loving like something from your very own kitchen. And old fashion comfort food like soup certainly fills the bill, especially on a cold winter day. One of my very favorite comfort foods is a bowl of steaming hot Minestrone Soup.

Here’s my tattered and worn little book of recipes. It holds our old favorite family recipes.

Do you remember back in the day when we used to handwrite favorite recipes on cards and in books like this? Of course, most times, when I’m looking for a recipe, I go directly to the computer and print it out. But, certain times of the year and holidays, I reach for this old reliable notebook and some warming comfort food.

That’s the taste of home!
