SIMPLE ITALIAN MINESTRONE SOUP



Simple Italian Minestrone Soup image

Simple and hearty Italian minestrone soup, brimming with vegetables, beans and a little pasta. The draw here is in the thick, flavorful tomato broth with piney rosemary, lots of fresh herbs, and Parmesan rind (a secret ingredient that Italian grandmothers have been using for years to flavor their soups)!

Categories     Soup

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
2 carrots (chopped)
2 celery stalks (diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 zucchini or yellow squash (diced)
1 cup green beans (fresh or frozen, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, if needed)
Salt and pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp rosemary
1 15- oz can crushed tomatoes
6 cups broth (vegetable or chicken broth)
1- inch Parmesan cheese rind (optional)
1 bay leaf
2 to 3 springs fresh thyme
1 15- oz can kidney beans
Large handful chopped parsley
Handful fresh basil leaves
Grated Parmesan cheese (to serve (optional))
2 cups already cooked small pasta such as ditalini or elbow pasta

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add onions, carrots and celery. Raise heat to medium-high, if you need to, and cook, tossing regularly, until the veggies soften a bit (about 5 minutes or so). Add the garlic and cook another minute, tossing regularly.
  • Add the zucchini or yellow squash and green beans. Season with paprika, rosemary, and a generous pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Now add the crushed tomatoes, broth, fresh thyme, bay leaf and Parmesan rind (if using.) Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and partially cover the pot. Let simmer for about 20 minutes or so.
  • Uncover the pot and add the kidney beans. Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Finally, Stir in the parsley and fresh basil. And, if serving immediately, stir in the cooked pasta and simmer ever so briefly till the pasta is warmed through; do not overcook. (See Cook's Tip #2)
  • Remove the cheese rind and bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Serve the minestrone hot in dinner bowls with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan (optional.)
