Why you should try making minestrone soup

Minestrone soup is a cornerstone of Italian cuisine and a symbol of comfort food deeply rooted in tradition. It was originally developed as a simple peasant soup using fresh seasonal vegetables and ingredients already available in the household. This makes the dish incredibly versatile, as you can adapt it to the season's produce and your own preferences.

Minestrone soup is also one of the most nourishing dishes you can serve. The combination of vegetables, beans and pasta or rice provides a good balance of fibre, protein and carbohydrates. The soup can easily be adapted to be vegetarian or vegan, making it suitable for most dietary needs.

It is also an ideal dish for reducing food waste, as you can use leftovers from the fridge or freezer and still end up with a flavourful and hearty dinner.
