Ingredients

1	large	onion	, fine
3	each	garlic cloves	peeled and finely chopped
2	cups	cabbage leaves	cooked and finely chopped
2	each	carrots	peeled, shredded
1	small	turnip	peeled, finely diced

1	medium	tomato	peeled, seeded and chopped
1	tablespoon	salt	to taste
1	teaspoon	black pepper	fresh, to taste

Directions

Put all the vegetables and the rosemary in a deep pan.

Cover with water and add salt and pepper to taste -- about 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Bring to a boil gradually over low heat. Cover pot and simmer the soup gently for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until all the flavors are well blended.

Taste and correct the seasoning.

Serve with crackers, cheese, or whatever you'd like.

* Examples of variations * First day: Enough soup for four people.

Serve as described above.

Second day: Add to the remainder another couple of peeled and chopped tomatoes, a few leaves of finely chopped spinach, another zucchini, and a few leftover cooked chickpeas.

Add a bit of grated lemon rind and a touch of onion about 10 minutes before serving.

Third day: For lunch, the soup is good cold with a dollop of creme frai'che.

Fourth day: Add 2 or 3 peeled and diced beets, another cup of finely chopped, cooked cabbage, 3 or 4 more mushrooms, and if any, a little left over vegetable broth cooked from another day.

NOTE: Of course, if you have some chicken or vegetable broth you can add it to the soup.

The secret is to have variations of color, texture and flavor.

Shrimp Paesano

Being a long time San Antonio resident, I remember two legends from the 70's: one that Paesano's owner divorced his wife and she broadcast the recipe all over town, and another that a disgruntled busboy spread the recipe around after he'd been fired. Regardless of how it came to be public, shrimp paesano is my family's all time favorite delicacy and I'm the only one who knows how to make it for them. The delicate but rich lemon butter sauce is always mopped up with crusty Italian bread, leaving the dinner plates clean as a whistle. I splurge and get the #10 sized Gulf shrimp (10 to a pound), so fresh they have no odor whatsoever. I allow six big shrimp per person and even that leaves them wanting more. I plan to prepare it for my sister's 61st birthday next weekend, and I'll probably serve it with a simple angel hair pasta with garlic butter, and fresh spinach and basil leaves sauteed in a dash of extra virgin olive oil with tiny cubes of prosciutto,minced garlic, pine nuts, a splash of balsamic and a little nutmeg for sweetness. Dessert will be Italian Cream Cake, since it's a birthday, and with that I'll serve Italian roast cafe con leche with foam. No amuse bouche this time- as it is we'll all gain 5 pounds with this dinner. :)
