This Italian Minestrone is a soup for all seasons.
Sometimes, all we need is a bowl of soup — to feed a family, to clean out the vegetable bin, to add warmth to a cold evening. Minestrone is a classic Italian vegetable soup. It has a tomato-infused broth that’s bright and fresh, studded with hearty white beans to provide substance, and often includes small pasta. It’s an all-year soup, boosted by the season’s vegetables. Carrots, celery and onion are a reliable year-round trio that provide the aromatics for the broth.
For easy preparation, canned beans are a handy pantry addition. However, if you have time, use cooked dried beans. They have great flavor and hold their texture well, without dissolving into mush. If you decide to cook the beans, make extra. They freeze beautifully for future soups and dishes.
