Ryan’s Minestrone
-
Serving5
Minestrone – a traditional, thick Italian soup – consists usually of many vegetables like beans, onions, celery, carrot sticks, and tomato, with added rice or pasta, or sometimes both. There have been many different varieties of minestrone created down through the years, with every different twist as interesting as the other. Most people stick to a vegetarian version, but meat and animal bone-based broth has also been used.
The word minestrone means a thick, vegetable soup, and all of the ingredients I’ve used here come together well to make sure it is just that. Even though the fresh herbs and vegetables give it a fresh feel and taste, the pasta does remind me of a nice, comforting winter meal. This recipe is definitely a more boiled-down version of minestrone instead of a very brothy one. This dish really impressed friends and it filled me up with satisfaction, quite quickly!
