	Minestra, maybe? An old family favorite of ours is something called Pizza Manestra, which is basically a ham and cabbage soup (Italian boiled dinner? :^) which included some cooked polenta and is served with thin, baked (crispy) polenta on the side (the "pizza".) The cooked polenta is added just prior to serving so that its doesn't "muddy" the soup.

	The following recipe is pronouced as "Monastada" although I'm sure the spelling is wrong. 1 Hambone (as left over from a shoulder) 1/2 stick of pepperone (cut into 1/2 inch slices) 3 lbs. of Escarole Put ham and pepperone in a pot and cover with water. Bring to boil and skim off the fat. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 hours or until meat comes off the bone. While that is simmering, cook the escarole until tender, strain and put aside. Conce the soup is done, strain it, then break up meat and add it to the soup, also add the pepperone and the escarole and simmer for 30 minutes. Regards, Jim
