There are alot of versions of this minestra. I might actually do a post about it soon and also make it at home now that the colder days are sort of kicking in :)Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915306323006971277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850294300019175567.post-46899816100035678572009-11-09T06:45:09.571-08:002009-11-09T06:45:09.571-08:00what a lovely challenge indeed.
