Receta Panz's Minestrone
My family enjoys this soup year-round but mainly during the late fall and winter. I simmer my dish for about two hours. You might choose to simmer for a shorter or longer period. My motto is "You can never cook with too much garlic." I'm a squeezer to maximize the garlic flavor. I add spices by "feel", meaning without measuring. Measuring spices is not in my DNA because my Mom, Great Nanna, Nanna, and Great Aunt "spiced by feel" too. I specify what I think the spice measurements are in the "Ingredients" section, but I probably use more. So, spice to your taste.
