Simple Minestrone Soup

2.4K

One of my absolute favourite soups – and you know just I loooveee pretty much all the soups that one can make! This is of course, especially the case in winter. But even in summer nothing beats a chilled gazpacho in my view.

Minestrone is a fairly simple soup to make. There are loads of ways to prepare it. Some add bacon (I obviously don’t as I don’t eat meat). Some like it with pasta, some prefer it without. The vegetables can vary too. A few, such as courgette, bell pepper and spinach are all pretty interchangeable as well as the different types of beans you can use. My advice is to use whatever you have at home. Making this soup is a good way use up whatever bits and pieces you might have lying about. In this sense Minestrone is such a good waste fighter.

This simple minestrone soup is super nutritious as well and if you don’t add the pasta, you can practically eat as much as you want without worrying too much about your weight. I add a half a teaspoon sugar because in my view it takes a little bit off the sharpness of the tomatoes and makes them less acidic in flavour. You’ll find no difference in the taste however, as you are using a small amount.

Also, I prefer this particular soup less thick. So I add a good 2 litres of vegetable stock to it to thin it down. But if you prefer it thicker, you can just use 1.5 litres.

You’ll love it anyway – so go ahead, make it (you can order the ingredients quickly and use Deliveroo promo codes) and enjoy!
