Okay I whipped this Minestrone up.  I had a few idea’s of what I was planning on putting in it..and what I had in my cupboards made me change my mind a bit.  Isn’t that how it always ends up being?  Don’t make the mistake I did…Don’t put the Garbanzo Beans at the beginning, because I had to fish them all back out.  Wish I had that 10 minutes back of my life.
