Hunter's Minestrone - I have made this before. Tonight both kids gave it an 8 and Bret gave it a 7. It makes the house smell yummy.

I like the pasta and sausage part. What I don't like is when the carrots or the beans get inside the rigatoni pasta - because then I can't eat that piece of pasta until I get the gross bean or the super gross carrot out of the inside of the pasta. But I do like the flavor.

And it is fairly easy.

And yes - aren't my cute winter soup bowls cute? thanks Rod. There are also cute plates that go with them!
