This is the classic and authentic Italian minestrone with a green twist. No tomatoes here! You may brown some pancetta or bacon in olive oil before proceeding with the recipe if you wish. I prefer to use a good quality vegetable bouillon to vegetable broth. The taste is more authentic and you simply need to skip the salt.

Ingredients

  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp
  • white onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • garlic, pressed: 2 clove
  • ½ cups frozen cut green beans: 1 piece
  • frozen peas: 1 cup
  • zucchini: 2 piece (chopped)
  • vegetable broth: 10 cups
  • fresh rosemary: 0.5 tsp (minced)
  • Great Northern beans: 2 cups (cooked)
  • ditalini pasta: 0.75 cup
  • fresh parsley: 0.5 cup (minced)
  • Parmesan cheese: 0.5 cup (grated)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • extra-virgin olive oil: 1 Tbsp (or as needed)

  2. Slowly stream vegetable broth into vegetable mixture; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in rosemary and great Northern beans and bring back to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Add ditalini pasta and simmer soup until pasta is tender but firm to the bite and soup has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in parsley.
