How do you make ministroni soup from scratch? Imagine a warm bowl of soup filled with vibrant vegetables, hearty beans, and tender pasta, all simmered together to create a comforting dish that warms the soul. Today, we will guide you through the process of making minestronei soup from scratch, a classic Italian recipe that is both nutritious and delicious. To start, gather your ingredients. You will need a variety of vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and zucchini. Fresh herbs like basil and parsley will add flavor along with garlic for an aromatic touch. You will also need vegetable broth, canned tomatoes, beans, and pasta. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand. Begin by preparing your vegetables. Dice the onions, carrots, and celery into small pieces. This combination is often referred to as a mere pua and serves as the flavor base for your soup. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced vegetables and sauté them for about 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and the onions become translucent. Next, add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once the garlic is fragrant, it is time to incorporate the canned tomatoes. Pour in a can of diced tomatoes, including the juice, and stir everything together. This will create a rich base for your soup. Now, pour in the vegetable broth. The amount can vary depending on how much soup you want to make, but around four to six cups is a good starting point. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer. This is when you can add your beans. Canned beans such as kidney or canolini work well and save time. Make sure to rinse and drain them before adding. As the soup simmers, it is time to add your pasta. Small shapes like dillini or elbow macaroni are perfect for minestrroni. Add the pasta to the pot and let it cook according to the package instructions. Usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. While the pasta cooks, chop your zucchini and any other vegetables you wish to include such as green beans or spinach. Add these to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking to ensure they remain as tender but not mushy. Once the pasta is cooked and the vegetables are tender, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning. A pinch of salt and pepper can go a long way. And adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley at this stage will brighten the flavors. After everything is well combined and heated through, your ministr soup is ready to serve. Ladle it into bowls and consider topping it with grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch. Enjoy this hearty dish with crusty bread for a complete meal that is sure to satisfy.
