About this recipe

This fit Italian minestrone soup brings together fresh vegetables, protein-rich beans and tiny pasta in a light vegetable broth. Thanks to its high fiber content, it offers a low-calorie and nourishing option that keeps you full for a long time.

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.

  2. 2

    Add the carrots, celery and potato and sauté for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the beans and pasta and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the pasta is al dente.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Tips

  • You can cook the pasta separately and add it when serving to keep it from absorbing the broth.
  • Vary it by adding seasonal vegetables like zucchini or spinach.
  • Leftover soup keeps for 3 days in the fridge and its flavor deepens the next day.
