Healthy EatingChunky Minestrone Soup
Chunky minestrone soup delivers a 500ml bowl of filling broth-based comfort at under 180 calories by packing every ladle with carrots, zucchini, cannellini beans, and diced tomatoes in a Parmesan rind-enriched vegetable broth. A properly built soffritto, sweated for a full 8 minutes, is the flavour foundation that separates this version from the bland, thin minestrone most recipes produce. Ready in 35 minutes and better on day two.
