Ingredients for the Minestrone Soup Recipe-

Detailed Ingredients with measurements can be found in the recipe card below . You can even find a detailed recipe instructions with pro tips along the way.

Onions – Chopped red or yellow works just fine . The onion adds a layer of sweetness to the recipe. Any kind of Onion in your Pantry works fine too. Shallots too are fine incase you do not have any onions.

Garlic – Italians love their garlic . I love it too! Garlic is an aromatic freshness to the tomato broth.

Olive Oil – I love to add Extra Virgin olive to this soup . Just gives a layer of aroma and taste of Italy.Easily available on Amazon , this is a pantry staple.

Vegetables – An Array of vegetables can be used in this particular Soup. I personally like to use anything thats lying in the pantry. Colourful peppers, Red , yellow, Green , orange.

Celery- It is a flavour enhancer. Add the stalk to the sautéing garlic and onions and build a soup like or lets say better than the restaurant.

I also add Yellow Squash , Zucchini, Carrots , green beans too. The choice of vegetables is totally up to you. Frozen vegetables work well too. So go ahead and make the most out of your pantry staples.

Tomatoes – Tomato could be diced , canned tomato Purée or homemade . I prefer to use homemade . It only takes a few minutes to grind the tomatoes . Canned Tomatoes work amazingly well, but do read the labels to avoid any preservatives or added salt and sugar.

Seasoning- All purpose seasoning is used in this Recipe of Minestrone Soup. The Seasoning is a blend of herbs, garlic , pepper and salt. Make life easy and use this to season vegetables, soups, broth, Chicken, meat . Available on Amazon , my pantry always has this All purpose seasoning or The Herb de Provence.

Pasta- Any kind of Pasta are absolutely fine. I use whatever is lying in my pantry. Elbow, fusilli .The Chickpea pasta is also a wonderful variety to use . Please feel free to use any kind lying around or go ahead and plan the Minestrone Soup .

Beans – Love canned beans like Lima, white Canellini beans to make the soup protein rich. You can totally avoid this ingredient if you are not a bean lover. You can however choose to add fresh washed and soaked beans. The cook time shall increase in that case.

Garnish with fresh Basil leaves, generous drizzle of olive oil and freshly shaved Parmesan.
