Thick and Hearty Italian Minestrone

Rich and filling — a single bowl is enough to satisfy your hunger! A dish with a name as lovely as minestrone simply can't be bad, right?

So minestrone is a recipe that doesn't just fill your stomach — it loads your body up with vitamins.

  • Set a saucepan over the heat, add butter, and on top of it the leeks sliced into rounds and the garlic run through a press. Sauté for five minutes, stirring and enjoying the aromas. Pour in the broth and immediately add the zucchini, carrots, and tiny tomatoes — all cut into neat little cubes (the tomatoes, by the way, should be canned in their own juice, not in vinegar) — along with the broken-up pasta and the bay leaf. All of that takes about fifteen minutes to cook. To serve, add grated cheese and chopped fresh herbs to each bowl.
