Life is stressful right now, my dad is fighting Cancer. I went down to OC last Sunday morning to commemorate my Grandmother's (Dad side) passing (more than 2 decades ago) as part of my daughterly duties to honor the old customs. My dad is going through another round of chemo therapy and the side affects were obvious.
I am a third-generation control freak and it's painful to know there is not much I can do...but wait, cook and pray and wait, cook and pray and wait, cook and pray..............
...and over the weekend I made my dad his favorite soup. I call it V8 Minestrone Soup: inspired by the
Olive Garden which opened near our house in glamorous Buena Park, Orange County when I was in High School. Nutritious and palatable for someone going through chemo therapy. I packed up three containers so my mom can keep the freezer stocked. The last time I made this was before I left home for art school over 15 years ago.
