[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another fan of soup here. I've found minestrone to be a great meal for guests. It's easy to make vegan if needed, and unless you have a guest with an allium allergy just about anyone can eat and enjoy it. In addition to the obvious bread/roll side, it goes well with a good antipasto platter so people who want meat or cheese can have some of that. And it's also easy to eat in company, which I like. I would make such a mess of a Cornish hen trying to cut around all those bones I could never show my face again. :)

Plus it's so healthy one can serve a luscious dessert if desired (I usually desire. Fancy chocolates, cookies, and truffles are a favorite. Or cupcakes. Or layer cake. Or ice cream. I like them all.)[/quote]

Minestrone? This as an entrée is not nearly enough food to count as dinner. It's fat free and like 150 calories a serving, it's diet food or an appetizer. A lot of people don't consider soup a meal, but even for those who do, minestrone would be at the bottom of the list for a soup that is hearty enough to be a standalone meal. I'm not even a huge eater, but I would be demolishing that antipasto platter or planning to have a second meal at home. Desserts do nothing for me so that wouldn't enter into my healthy/unhealthy meal calculation at all, I don't eat them. [/quote]
