Recipe: Everything left over in your fridge, vegetable-wise, cut-up in bite-size pieces. If you haven't got enough veggies, integrate with a ready-made minestrone from your supermarket, either frozen or semi-fresh (one cup will do).
Leave out the rat (remember Three Men in a Boat? The dog's contribution to the men's Irish stew had been a rat he'd fished in the Thames...)
Add one cup of broth to taste (made from cubes or Knorr powder or whatever), ground pepper, a spoonful of fresh chopped parsley (optional).
Be sure to add two or three tablespoonfuls of fresh tomato purée - what the Italians call "passata di pomodoro". Lacking that, cut up a few cherry tomatoes in your soup, they'll add a necessary zing to it.
Serve with grated Parmigiano cheese and a piece of warmed up bread. And red wine of course.
Et voilà, the perfect New Year Day Hodge podge, I mean Hodge Pot!
