italian vegetable soup

Nothing says more “comfort food” than thick, creamy Minestrone Soup.Italian Minestrone soup is made with seasonal veggies, legumes and small pasta shape or rice.

Italian Minestrone Soup

onion (, roughly chopped)

carrots (, roughly chopped)

pancetta ((optional))

pumpkin

potato potatoes

tomato

savoy cabbage (, roughly chopped)

((14 oz) borlotti beans)

ditalini pasta or other small pasta shape

Extra virgin olive oil

bay leaf

rosemary

garlic ((optional))

Salt

In a large pot add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, roughly chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic clove, and pancetta cubes. Sautee on medium heat for a few minutes stirring a couple of times in the process.

Add potatoes, butternut squash, tomatoes, bay leaf, rosemary sprigs and a couple of pinches of salt.

Give a nice stir and add enough water to cover all the veggies.Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes. Add more liquid if needed.

Past this time veggies will become super soft and will “melt” one into another creating delicious creamy texture.

Once veggies are cooked add chopped savoy cabbage or other leafy greens and drained canned beans. Add more water if needed. Give a nice stir and cook for another 15 minutes.

As a last step, add pasta or rice. Let cook for 5-15 more minutes depending on how long pasta or rice will take to cook.

If you’re not planning to serve minestrone right away, don’t add pasta or rice immediately.Instead, bring the soup to a boil when you’re ready to serve it and then add pasta or rice.

Minestrone is ready to serve when pasta (rice) is cooked. I takes about 5-6 minutes for ditalini pasta and about 15 minutes for rice.

Serve hot or warm generously topped with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

Let the beans simmer gently for 2 hours then remove the beans with a slotted spoon and place in a separate bowl and discard the rosemary and sage. Keep the bean cooking liquid, this will act as your stock for the soup.

Finely chop the carrot, onion and celery and add to a large pot with the olive oil. Saute gently until soft then add the potato (peeled and cubed) and the leek, continue to cook until the leek has softened.

Add the bean cooking liquid, vegetable stock and canned chopped tomatoes along with a good pinch of salt and pepper, simmer gently for 40 minutes.

vegetable broth or stock

kidney beans (approx. 15 oz.)

baby spinach

rotini pasta (uncooked)

Chop carrots, celery and onion. Sauté the veggies in large soup pot until onions are translucent in olive oil

Add in minced garlic, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, parsley, bay leaf, and tomato paste. If you like a thick broth, you can even add 1/2 cup tomato paste. For a thinner broth, add 1/3 cup or less. Cook on medium for about 30 minutes or until carrots and celery are tender. Stir occasionally. The soup should be at a very soft boil so make adjustments to your stove&#039;s needs.

Add in spinach and uncooked pasta. Continue to heat at a soft boil for another 15 minutes or until pasta is completely cooked. Add more seasonings to taste and simmer until ready to serve.

Chill leftovers in a sealed container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to about 6 weeks.
