Italian Recipes : Soups, Stews and Chili

Back in 1996, Rose K. served her first homemade dish at the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission: a hearty, vegetable-packed minestrone soup. It was simple, comforting, and made with love—and it’s been warming souls ever since.

This soup holds more than flavour; it holds history. It was the beginning of Rose’s long-standing dedication to the Mission, and to nourishing her community in every sense of the word. Still one of her most requested recipes, it’s a reflection of her practical heart: waste nothing, feed many, and serve without fuss.

This isn’t just minestrone. It’s Mission-made—and Rose-approved.
