Minestrone Soup
INGREDIENTS
•
1 large carrot - roughly chopped
•
2 ribs of Celery - threads removed
•
1 medium Onion - skinned and chopped into quarters
•
1 litre vegetable stock - you can use chicken stock too

1 large jar of Passata Tomato sauce
•
1 large Courgette - the light coloured ones
•
2 medium Potatoes cut into large chunks
•
1 large piece of pumpkin - peeled
•
1 can Cannellini Beans or White Kidney Beans - the traditional recipe calls for Red Kidney Beans, but I find the flavour too strong in this soup
•
2 cups flat green beans trimmed and cut into 1/2 " pieces - you can substitute these with the frozen version.

1 cup - 10 oz - small pasta such as ditalini - or you can use spaghetti cut into 1" pieces
•
2 cups Baby Spinach Leaves
•
Fresh basil leaves around a hand full
•
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning - you can but these at the local supermarket
•
Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Grated cheese to top - parmigiano works best
