Minestrone — sopa italiana de legumes e feijão
Italy's great soup of the cucina povera: a hearty, ever-changing pot of seasonal vegetables, beans and a little pasta or rice, built on a slow-cooked soffritto and simmered until everything is tender and the broth is rich and savoury. Minestrone has no fixed recipe — it's a celebration of whatever the garden and pantry offer — but the soffritto base, a Parmesan rind in the pot, and a finish of good olive oil and grated cheese turn humble vegetables into something deeply comforting.
