JD - This is certainly a meal in a bowl. I couldn't fit the cannellini beans into the TM bowl, it was so full so I had to add it afterwards and then decided I may as well put the whole can in there. I will add more stock to the remaining soup before freezing half of it for another time. In this house it would probably serve 10 people!

A minestrone soup for carnivores - DH will be pleased Robyn. Thank you :-*

Yes JD - you may prefer to increase the amount of stock if you like soup to be just that - this was very thick and chunky as you can see from the pic. In fact it was definitely satisfying enough for a complete meal - naturally the fresh linseed and soy rolls contributed!
:D :D :D

Made this today Robyn and it was enjoyed by both of us - certainly is a meal in a bowl.

Yes, I can see why Robyn - nice and healthy with all those vegies in there.
