The name of this soup is rooted in the Latin word, minestrare, to serve.

The ingredients in the soup varied from region to region.Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil1 cup chopped onion
1 cup peeled and diced potato
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil

1 can (16 ounces) tomatoes, with liquid
1 can (20 ounces) cannellini (white kidney beans)
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup raw macaroni (elbow or ditali)
Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients, except the macaroni and cheese, in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Turn the heat to high, add the macaroni, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the macaroni is just tender. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before serving.Note:
