Minestra is a hearty and healthy vegetable soup that is a mainstay of Italian households during the colder months. It is a humble dish that has been enjoyed for centuries with its’ rural roots. Minestra is the perfect dish to cozy up to during the fall and winter 🙂

Tell me about your offset chef's knife. Thanks for the recipe.
What a treasure this video is. I love old family recipes with a history. Thanks for the share, I will try this for sure.
I am always amazed at how you can take something so simple & easy to make and it turns into something elegant! I have a feeling when you entertain, your guests leave feeling like they`ve been treated with a sincere depth of warmth and love. Wish I lived closer! LOL But since I don`t, I`ll just keep enjoying my visits here with you. Be blessed!
I make a big batch of my MIL minestrone soup every few months, year-round. Her soup, a beautiful loaf of bread & some red wine doesn't get any better or more satisfying.
Mmmm delish!
Love soup season. Doesn't get to cold here in California, but my family love soup. ♥️
Hi Lisa, my Pop (Mom's Dad) was born in Naples and he and his parents migrated to NY when he was just a baby back in 1896. My Nana (Mom's mother) was also Italian, from Northern Italy. I promised myself that I would ask you a question the next time you posted a food video. Nana used to make a zucchini soup that we all loved. The recipe has been passed down, but along the way the pronunciation has gotten skewed. I'm going to spell it phonetically, and hopefully you'll be able to clear it up for me. It's 3 syllables, the 1st syllable sounds like "gook" (rhymes with took or look). The 2nd syllable is "uh" and the 3rd syllable is zeel (rhymes with peel or feel). The ingredients are zucchini squash, onion, garlic, red or green peppers, whole tomatoes, potatoes, basil, oregano, salt, scrambled eggs (which are added at the end immediately before serving), and topped with parmesan cheese. Do you have any idea what this might be? Thanks for any help you can provide. By the way, I love your videos!! 😊
I made this soup and my husband and I were delighted! Yum! and so easy . Thank you Lisa.
Great photography! You can really video cozy!

There is something very special about your show , the wholesome goodness of the 1940's-50's . This could very easily be a T.V. segment sponsored by Betty Crocker or some major Brand . I wish you all the success you truly deserve . "in bocca al Luppo" ( good luck )
