Without doubt Minestrone Soup is the best vegetable soup made anywhere in the world.
You can always add other vegetables to taste because there are no real rules. For instance, I add a chili and a can of Cannelini beans when I make it. Submitted by David McCarthy, Australia
Blanch chopped vegetables in salted boiling water; drain, then saute chopped vegetables in butter in a frying pan, adding salt and pepper to taste.
When vegetables are brown add a little stock to keep moist and cook slowly until they are soft. Adding a little stock as necessary to keep moist. Add the bay leaf when you add stock.
Add ham or veal pieces to the vegetables when you add stock.
Cook 4 ounces rice in chicken stock.
When rice is soft add the vegetables in stock and heat (do not boil) to serve.
