Zoup!
Saturday seemed like a good day to whip up a pot of soup, Food and Wine's Hearty Minestrone to be more specific. I'm not a huge fan of Minestrone but as I was sitting in some office for some appointment I wrote it down in my little "things to remember later" book and so I went at it with gusto on yet another chilly spring morning. It was my first time playing with shallots, fennel, and pancetta and we all got along just fine. And next time Rachel Ray attacks her fennel bulb I will be able to relate.

Wow. I'm not really a minestrone fan, either, but that soup has got me salivating in a very uncouth way.
It looks good and the veggies looked prepped to perfection. I am always too timid to work with something I haven't before (fennel, shallots and pancetta) - but now that you have.....
Smells delish!
Yum.
I love minestrone soup! Yours looks amazing!
