蔬菜通心粉汤 (Minestrone Soup)


Soup of the day, a classic Italian hot tomato soup. I didn't use tomato puree for the soup as the lasagna is Bolognese sauce and I use angel hair instead of Macaroni. It turn out well.

0.5 Carrot, 0.5 Celery, 0.5 Onion, 0.5 Green Zucchini
4 cloves Garlic
50g Butter
100g Macaroni Pasta
2tbsp Olive Oil, 2tbsp Tomato Coulis, 2tbsp Butter Bean
Dry Oregano, Chervil
