Minestrone soup is a hearty and nutritious dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its rich blend of vegetables, beans, pasta or rice, and a light tomato-based broth. Traditionally, it features ingredients like zucchini, carrots, celery, onions, spinach, kidney beans, white beans, and either ditalini pasta or rice, though recipes can vary by region and season. This versatile soup is packed with vitamins, fiber, and plant-based protein, making it a wholesome choice for most diets. Low in fat and naturally free of cholesterol, it supports heart health and digestion. However, some versions may be higher in sodium, especially when using canned broth or beans, so opt for low-sodium alternatives when possible. Minestrone is a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal that embraces both the simplicity and abundance of Mediterranean cooking.
