Then when you're making a soup like this, you can just take one out of the freezer and throw it right in. Randomly, I also have this book, but can't remember where from - very possibly a book sale in a second-hand book shop. It looks lovely soup and I think I'll give it a go - minestrone is one of those rare soups that seems to fit in any season.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676869975397269197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-56166039667977339572012-02-24T15:50:37.644-08:002012-02-24T15:50:37.644-08:00It makes such a difference doesn't it.

I don't often have a rind of parmesan in the back of my fridge though ><, but when i do, I even make soup for the sake of it.Shu Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00248873228185558472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-84708423178524491742012-02-24T11:22:21.780-08:002012-02-24T11:22:21.780-08:00Thanks Dom and congratulations hope it's going...Thanks Dom and congratulations hope it's going strong for many more years.
