Many years ago, in the 1970’s or 80’s, there was a restaurant in Jeffersonville, Indiana, 
on Court Avenue, called Ray Parrelli’s Italian Restaurante.  Besides all of his other 
delicious dishes, his Minestrone Soup was mine and my husband’s favorite.  He told 
us once that it cooked all day and he started early by making the broth. It had a rich 
tomato broth, but also some small beef chunks, which I think had been cooked to 
produce beef broth also.  It also had the usual ingredients, cannelli beans, green beans, 
zucchini, onions, celery, garlic, and some type of small pasta.  He served with warm 
garlic buttered breadsticks.  Absolutely nothing better on a cold night!
I’ve tried to recreate from memory, but can not replicate this delicious soup.

Thanks!

Hi Linda,

Sorry, I can't find this. I only found a couple of brief mentions of Parelli's Restaurant in Jeffersonville and nothing about the minestrone soup.

I will post this for reader input.
