About the dish
Minestrone is an Italian vegetable soup with no single fixed recipe – it takes whatever the garden or market has to offer. Usually that means onion, carrot, celery, courgette, potatoes, cabbage or kale, tomatoes and beans, with small pasta or rice added at the end. It is simmered slowly, often with a Parmesan rind that gives the broth depth. Minestrone can be as thick as a stew and is just as good lukewarm in summer as piping hot in winter. It is served with a drizzle of good olive oil and grated cheese.
