Good ol’ Minestrone Soup Premium PD Recipe

2014-05-14

Minestrone in Italian means a big soup. A big pot of soup is perfect for stocking up your fridge and freezer with ready to go meals. It’s a great way to get kids to eat veggies. Start with the base of the soup as your guide, and then use the suggested veggies or whatever you have on hand to turn out one of the best Italian style veggie bean soups created.

    Julie, I’ve been making minestrone soup just by tossing in this and that for absolutely years, but I guess besides a couple herbs I might not have included in mine that you added, incorporating nutritional yeast makes this soup over the top tasty. Best ever. 5 out of 5. If others haven’t tried it, they should!

    Great soup! I have to tell you that my husband has never given anything I’ve made a 10. He says “what if something REALLY good came along and I already gave out the top number?” (I always say he could give me lots of 10’s…. ) So when I made this and we also had the leftovers the next day, he was so excited. 9.95!! I am making it again right now!

    This soup really hits the spot. It is warm and gives you that “all is ok in the world ” feeling. I eat it every week. It also freezes really well

    I have been trying to make a good minestrone soup for ages. This is the recipe! The difference between my ok soup and this one are the spices and nutritional yeast. The recipe is huge so I cut it in half. No problem. It is a good way to use up bits and pieces of left over this and that.

    Really good. When I make it again, though (and I will), I’ll probably use a more substantial noodle other than spaghetti–maybe penne.

    I wonder how this would be with cilantro?

A Tale of Two Sisters

As I pass the August 1, 2016 two-year anniversary of adopting a Protective Diet, I’m reflecting on my journey, and that of my sister, Cathy.

I’ve been a “foodaholic” all of my life. I’m 66 now, and since I was a young girl, I’ve struggled with my weight. I’ve never been considered… Read more or comment “A Tale of Two Sisters”

Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!

My cholesterol readings have long been my biggest health issue. I was once tested as high as 333. I have been fighting being 20-50 pounds overweight most of my life. The only thing that ever seemed to lower my cholesterol before this was regular exercise. But, I could never get it below 285. After becoming… Read more or comment “Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!”

Health is continuing to improve. I will take another cholesterol test at 6 months. Feeling fabulous. Free and able to eat until my tummy is happy and watch the weight fall off.

It’s all a matter of perspective

Lately I have really been wanting to move my body more than just walking the dogs. I started thinking about returning to Curves. Nine years ago I had joined Curves and for about five months was able to go and exercise. When I went in for my first consultation I was given a BMI calculator… Read more or comment “It’s all a matter of perspective”
