Ingredients

  • 7 cups, 6 tablespoons, 1 teaspoon, 7/8 pinches Vegetable Stock, Or More As Needed
  • 3-5/8 ounces, weight Your Choice Of Pasta
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Brown Onion, Peeled And Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Chopped
  • 2 Carrots, Peeled And Roughly Chopped
  • 2 stalks Celery, Roughly Chopped
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 3 leaves Bay Leaf
  • 4 stalks Parsley, Finely Chopped
  • 3/4 pounds, 3/8 ounces, weight Potatoes, Washed
  • 2 Tomatoes, Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Tomato Paste
  • 3-5/8 ounces, weight Swiss Chard (Silverbeet), Roughly Shredded
  • 1 Zucchini Roughly Diced
  • 3/4 pounds, 2-1/8 ounces, weight Tinned Cannellini Beans, Drained
  • 3/8 ounces, weight Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1 ounces, weight Parmesan Cheese

Method

  • Put stock in a pot and bring to the boil. Add pasta and cook to package instructions until al dente. We do not want to discard the stock, so put a sieve over a large bowl then strain the pasta, making sure you get all of that stock in the bowl. Set aside.
  • Get the pot back on the stove over medium heat. Add oil, then add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme, bay leaves, parsley stalks and fry for a couple of minutes. Add stock back to the pot, bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • At this point, add potatoes, tomatoes and tomato paste. Once again, bring stock back to the boil, then once it is boiling, bring heat down and simmer for about 7-8 minutes.
  • Add Swiss chard and zucchini then simmer soup for a couple more minutes.
  • Add pasta and beans and just warm those ingredients through. If you feel it's necessary to add a splash of extra stock, feel free to do so.
  • Pick basil leaves, roll them up like a cigar then shred them. Add to your minestrone then turn heat off.
  • Serve minestrone into soup bowls or pasta bowls, then finish with a light grating of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.
