Homemade Vegetable Minestrone is a hearty Italian soup brimming with nutritious ingredients and classic Mediterranean flavors. Traditionally prepared with a mix of seasonal vegetables like carrots, celery, zucchini, and spinach, this vibrant dish also incorporates kidney beans or cannellini beans for protein, along with pasta or rice for a satisfying texture. Simmered in a savory tomato-based broth infused with garlic and Italian herbs, Minestrone is both comforting and wholesome. Low in fat and rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, it supports digestive health and provides essential nutrients for energy. Opting for whole-grain pasta and reducing added salt can make it even healthier. Though variations may include meat or cheese for added flavor, the vegetable-focused version remains a lighter, heart-healthy choice. Perfect as a filling main course or a nutrient-dense starter, Minestrone is a timeless favorite that celebrates Italy’s love for simple, nourishing food.
