New York Minestrone is a traditional American recipe for a classic soup of Italian sausage, onion, carrots, courgettes, cabbage and haricot beans cooked in a tomato and beef bouillon base. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic American version of: New York Minestrone.
Slice the sausage crosswise into 1cm pieces then brown in the salad oil in a large casserole of Dutch oven. Add the onion, garlic, carrots and basil and cook for 5 minutes. Now add the courgettes, tomatoes (with liquid), bouillon, cabbage, salt and pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, covered. Add the beans (and their liquid) then cook for another 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley. This is another of those soups that tastes even better when re-heated the next day.
