But as a native Italian I can say that pasta inside is not mandatory and Italians do not add a whole can of tomatoes (it's not a red soup). Greetings from Italy. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

    As a native Italian i realized this: Americans call "minestrone" a very red vegetable soup. In Italy minestrone has a light green color and none adds a whole can of tomatoes (are you doing the Russian borsch?). The base for a minestrone is the white cabbages (verza) or the dark ones (broccoli). By the way what's pamijeeaaaan? You mean Parmigiano, I think. There is a spelled "O" in parmigiano.

    Hi there! Great question. Personally, I am a big user of extra virgin olive oil. Quality, low-acidity extra virgin olive oil is a good fat to cook with. It’s smoke point is something like 405 degrees F or higher (depending on quality.) The key is to heat the oil just enough to shimmering but not smoking.

And I actually have that rind sitting around, dinner tomorrow, with some bread out of the bread maker. Thanks again, as always.🥰. I hope that many new cookers, (and older burned out ones, like me), can see how you make fresh, easy, REAL food in practically no time at all.

    I've made multiple times and every time maybe a little different. If it's a "greener" soup in Italy, big deal. Italian grammas here make with tomatoes, I think it's just something available here, so it's used. There is also parmisan and parmigiano reggiano, My understanding any parmesan not made in a certain part of Italy can't be called parmigiano reggiano. It also must be aged a year and have animal based rennet. Hence the term parmesan, also has vegetarian rennet. Is a milder flavor with less umami. I think similar but *not* the same at all. Parmesan doesn't have much a rind though--I think never comes as a wheel. Not considering the "cheese" in a can. This is cheese you buy in a hunk. Parmesan can be vegetarian but parmigiano reggiano can never be. They got rules.
