Minestrone

Minestrone is a traditional Italian soup made with a hearty mix of vegetables, beans, pasta or rice, and often small pieces of meat or herbs for flavor. It’s versatile and can vary by season or region, but typically includes ingredients like tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, and spinach. The ingredients are usually cooked together in a broth until tender, creating a nourishing, flavorful dish. Its thick, chunky texture makes it filling and satisfying, suitable for both light lunches and hearty dinners. Minestrone is celebrated for its wholesome ingredients and communal, comforting appeal.
