Minestrone Soup Recipe - The Insanely Sexy Potato Show

This is the perfect food to warm you up on cold fall and winter days. As you will see, its easy to make, healthy and very affordable. You dont have to follow the exact list of vegetables im using. You can substitute them as you please, let your imagination, or whatever is in the fridge and needs to be eaten before it dies, get inside your soup!

Im using chicken stock here but you can use vegetable broth instead if you wanna keep vegetarian. Skip the parmesan if you wanna go vegan. You may also add lentils and other beans for more protein. Meat lovers can add pancetta or bacon to the mix!


List of ingredients:
1/2 onion
a few cloves of garlic
1 zucchini
1 carrot
2 ribs of celery
1 cup of green string beans
1 large can of diced tomates
1 can of red kidney beans
4 cups chicken stock
parsley, cilantro, pepper, parmesan to taste



Serve this with some bread, cheese, crackers. Have yourself a comforting meal!
