Today was a beautiful day! The weather was wonderful! Had the doors open and enjoyed the breeze coming through the house! I was in a cooking/baking mood today so I created this Summer Minestrone Recipe, mmm tastes like summer in a bowl! So good! Feel free to add or take away veggies depending on what you have and be sure to get those veggies fresh from a farm if you have one close, nothing like eating local!!!

Summer Minestrone Soup
Ingredients
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
½ yellow squash, sliced
½ zucchini, sliced
½ can (15 ounce) diced petite tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock (I use Kitchen Basics)
2 cups water
2 handfuls of petite penne pasta (approx.. ¼ of a 16 ounce box)
Oregano
Salt
Pepper
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, add onions and sauté 1 minute, add carrots and continue to sauté for 5 more minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients and cook for 10 minutes or until pasta is fork tender but not too tender. Add the spices per your taste, I just “sprinkle” my spices!
ENJOY!
