General rules

Initially, the Minestrone classic was prepared very long - up to six hours. In the process, vegetables were cooked almost to the state of mashed potatoes. Modern and hardware, facilitating cooking, reduced the time to three hours, and even less - in the end, it's easy to get a kash-like consistency with a blender. However, several rules are still observed now.

When choosing a soup, keep in mind that even healthy soups can contain too much sodium. Sodium can lead to high blood pressure and fluid retention. Avoid these problems without adding salt to ready-made or homemade soups. Minestrone is a thick soup that is quite saturated, because it consists of many whole vegetables. A true revolution compared to our usual velvety. Our minestrone is accompanied by a small amount of bread to cook tasty food  for lunch. Minestrone is also prepared with pasta, which must be included in the dish, so this is a very complete meal, where all dishes are perfectly combined with the same.

  1. Vegetables, laid in minestrone, are fried, and in many cases also pre-stew.
  2. Minestrone is a seasonal dish. Do not scrupulously follow the recipe and use the expensive, but overcrowded with chemistry winter Bulgarian pepper. You can take something more natural.
  3. In the soup must necessarily be legumes. It can be peas, beans or chickpeas. Of course, preference should be given fresh, but if they are not, the beans are pre-soaked beforehand.
  4. If you are interested in a real soup minestrone, the classic recipe advises you to wipe some of the vegetables, and leave them in pieces: the density will be sufficient, and the whole slices will add beauty and richness.
  5. The paste is taken exclusively by solid grades.
  6. A lot of greenery is a must!

In the classical minestrone there must be at least a dozen different vegetables. It is not always possible to diversify the ingredients so much, but at least 6-7 species will have to be "mined".

The latter is interesting, because it allows us to fill with vitamins, being complete, ideal for those who watch their diet, not wanting to starve. Preparing this is not difficult, but it takes to have a little time in front of you, because the different ones must be cleaned and cut into small pieces.

Ingredients for Minestrone: 150 g of small pasta, 500 g of white beans, 4 ripe tomatoes, 3 carrots, 2 zucchini, 3 potatoes, 1 celery stalk, 1 onion, 2 bay leaves, 2 liters 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
