Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 celery stalk
- 2 carrots
- 3 potatoes
- 250 g White cauliflower
- 50 grams Cannellini white beans canned
- 250 g peas
- 2 zucchini
- 3 tomatoes diced
- 50 grams fresh spinach
- 50 grams kale
- fresh parsley as desired
- fresh basil as desired
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 6-7 cups water
- Parmesan Cheese optional
Instructions
- Peel and finely mince the onion.
- Now wash all the other veggies thoroughly and cut them into 1 cm squares. The cauliflower and/or broccoli should be cut into small florets and the leafy greens should be roughly chopped into bite sized pieces or smaller.
- Put a pot of 6-7 cups of water on to boil.
- In another larger pot, add 3 tablespoons of oil and saute the onion, carrot, and celery for 3 minutes. Next add the cauliflower and potatoes and let it cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Now add the Cannellini beans, peas, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach and kale and or any other leafy or soft vegetables you have chosen.
- Finally add the 6 to 7 cups of boiling water, or until the vegetables are completely covered.
- Bring the minestrone to a boil, then cover with a lid, lower the heat and simmer slowly for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables. You want them to remain intact and maintain as much of their color as possible.
- At the end of the cooking time, add salt and pepper to taste as well as chopped fresh basil or fresh parsley.
- Serve in individual bowls with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top.
