Minestrone with German Salami

A minestrone soup made with carrot, onion, courgette, green beans, potato, garlic, paprika, turmeric, tomato puree, plus the herbs oregano, basil and marjoram. Plus some diced German salami, chicken stock, and broken wheat-free spaghetti.

The vegetables were diced first, along with the garlic, then added to a pot of boiling water. They were boiled for thirty minutes before being mashed.

Add the turmeric and paprika, the chicken stock (vegetable stock will do instead),  two squirts of tomato puree, the salami sausage (four thin slices is enough), and finally the broken spaghetti pieces. Cook for another forty five minutes under glass, and add the herbs fifteen minutes before the dish is ready to serve. Stir occasionally to prevent the spaghetti sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Serve with garlic bread, or another bread, according to choice.
