Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 white or yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 large carrots, sliced
1 medium (or 2 small) yukon gold potatoes, diced into ½ inch cubes (about 1 cup diced potatoes)
1 (28 ounce) can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
6 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
4 cups spinach
4 ounces elbow noodles, small shells or fusilli, gluten free if desired
For serving:
Freshly grated parmesan
Garlic bread or crostinis

Steps:

  • Add olive oil to a large pot or dutch oven and place over medium high heat. Add in diced onion, celery, sliced carrots and potatoes. Saute for 3-5 minutes or until onions soften.
  • Next add in crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Cover and cook on medium low for 10-15 minutes.
  • Next stir in the green beans, spinach and pasta. Cook uncovered for 8-12 more minutes or until pasta is al dente and green beans are tender. Pour into a bowl and serve with parmesan cheese on top. I also like to serve mine with garlic bread, crostinis or crackers. Personally I think soup makes amazing leftovers and is even more delicious the next day.

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.

Provided by Italian Recipe Book

Categories     Soup

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 onion (, roughly chopped)
2 carrots (, roughly chopped)
2-3 selery ribs (, roughly chopped)
½ cup diced pancetta ((optional))
1 ½ cup pumpkin or butternut squash (, cut in cubes)
1 large potato or 1 ½ cup potatoes (, cut in cubes)
1 large tomato chopped or 10 cherry tomatoes (, cut in quarters)
1 small savoy cabbage (, roughly chopped)
1 can ((14 oz) borlotti beans)
⅓ cup ditalini pasta or other small pasta shape
Extra virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 rosemary sprigs
1 garlic clove ((optional))
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • 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.
