Italian Minestrone Soup


I love this old Italian Classic.

Minestroni = mix of things + Pasta

Chop and plop, put everything into a pot, cook it for a few minutes and enjoy.

Ingredients:

1T   Olive Oil

3t   Garlic crushed

1t   Origanum

1    Onion

3    Carrots

2    Celery Sticks

5    Baby Marrows

1    Dried Red Chilli

1t   Black Pepper

½ t Salt

3C Chicken Flavour Stock

1  Chopped Tomatoes Can

1pkt  Tomato Paste (50g)

1   Can of Beans

Tip: You can use any of these beans:

Cannellini/Red/Barlotti/Lentils/Mixed Beans

½C  Small shaped Dried Pasta

        Bunch of Fresh Basil Leaves


1. Chop all the vegetables into small cubes.

2. Add the Oil, Vegetables, Garlic, Chilli and Origanum into a pot and fry everything for +/- 5 minutes.

3. Add the chopped Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Beans, Chicken Stock and Black Pepper. Mix it together and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Super easy but so healthy and delicious!
