Nutritional Information

Per serving: 303kcals, 11.1g fat (4.7g saturated), 22.7g protein, 30g carbs, 5.1g sugar, 0.6g salt

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 leek, halved lengthways, washed and chopped
1 celery stick, halved lengthways and sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400g piece brisket, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
600ml vegetable stock
400g can chopped tomatoes
100g Savoy cabbage or Brussels sprouts, finely shredded
400g can cannellini or haricot beans, drained
100g small pasta shells
8 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan or Grana Padano, to serve

Method: How to make winter minestrone soup

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, leek, celery and garlic and cook for a few minutes, until softened. Add the brisket, carrot, potatoes and herbs. Pour over the stock, tomatoes and 750ml water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.

Tip

Freeze it: for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature, then reheat until piping hot on the hob.

2. Stir in the cabbage or sprouts, beans and pasta and simmer for a further 5 minutes. (The pasta will be slightly undercooked at this point but will be perfect after reheating.)

3. Leave to cool completely, then freeze (see tip) or cook for 2 minutes more, if serving immediately, until the pasta is cooked. Serve with griddled ciabatta and cheese.

Hello!, I love minestrone soup, when I was a kid my mother used to made it very frecuently, now I cook it but never try with garlic and celery or any other herb, at the end i like to add Parmesan and somme times a dessert spoon of cream, I tried with garlic cloves and the taste is better. Cheers from Mexico x ALEX
