[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	MINESTRONE SOUP 1 cup finely minced celery 1 cup finely minced onion 1 cup finely minced carrot 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup garbanzo beans 1/2 cup kidney beans 1/2 cup whole dried peas 1/2 cup white pea beans 3/4 cup sliced carrots 3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion 3/4 cup sliced celery 3/4 cup chopped bell pepper 1/2 cup rice or barley 1 cup shell macaroni 2 tablespoons minced parsley 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon basil 2 teaspoons soy sauce Pepper to taste Parmesan cheese Slowly sauté finely minced onion, celery and carrot in butter until very brown. Add peas and beans and about 3 quarts of water. Cook slowly until beans are almost done (check garbanzos - they will take the longest) about 2 to 2 ½ hours. Add the remaining vegetables, rice and spices and more water if necessary and cook another hour. About 20 minutes before serving time add the macaroni and more water if needed. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty garlic bread. -----signature----- Women who behave themselves rarely make history.

	Traditional Italian minestrone is a vegetable only soup. I do add beef (cubed round steak usually) for my husband. -----signature----- Women who behave themselves rarely make history. My Give-A-Damn's Busted. http://www.thewufs.com/2003venture/motortrike.htm
