Minestrone Soup.
Ingredients:
1 lb. Navy beans
1/2 lb. salt pork
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)

3 medium celery stalks (diced)
3 carrots (diced)
1/2 head cabbage (shredded)
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. salt

6 Tbsp. olive oil
2 - 6oz cans tomato paste
1 Tbsp. oregano (to taste)

Prepare vegetables, then add to beans with garlic, onions, salt, pepper, seasonings, tomato paste, and rice. At this time, you can also add 4 additional cups of water and continue to cook until thick. Puree in processor at least 1/2 soup mixture, and then mix with un-pureed portion. Serve with Parmesan or Asiago cheese sprinkled on top. Note: This is better when prepared at least 1 day before serving, and then re-heated to serve. Add either Asaigo or Parmesean cheese to the top.
