Thanks :)

Montville Inn serves great food... But, just so ya know vegetarians don't eat fish lol.

Fish is not a vegetable. ;)

Most "vegetarians" are Ovo-lacto (they consume eggs and will partake in other dairy products [milk, butter, cheese, etc] while abstaining from animal flesh - this includes poultry and FISH) Vegans, will have nothing to do with any food derived from a living being (including honey, which is harvested by bees). A food fun fact for ya.

zettle, I hope you enjoyed spending time with your neices over the holiday. You are a cool aunt, just for caring enough to go out of your way to find a special place to take them. :)

I agree with those who said that they think the"dye" reply was server error, I'm sure she wanted to please you by answering your question, but she obviously didn't know what the heck she was saying. Who puts dye in soup?!

Carrabba's minestrone is different from any I've tasted in a restaurant, definitely not your classic minestrone...it's very hearty, HUGE chunks of fresh veggies and lots of savory spices...it's nothing short of delicious when prepared properly. However, this soup is not tomato based (to my dismay, as I am a vegetarian) it's broth consists of mainly chicken stock, so that's why it isn't RED in color. *My friend works at our local Carrabba's, so she's got the inside info. ;)
