DIRECTION

1. Place all the ingredients except the spinach and parmesan into the soup maker jug.
2. Place the soup maker blending lid on top and secure to the base.
3. Select the ‘CHUNKY’ soup setting and then select the ‘START’ button.
4. After cooking, remove the lid and add the spinach and parmesan. Replace the soup maker blending lid on top and secure to the base. Select the ‘PULSE’ button and then press start. Hold down the button for 15 seconds as it blends.

6. Serve with garlic bread and some extra parmesan on the side.

 

A classic Italian dish, minestrone comes in many forms. Chunky, vegetables, pasta and legumes in a tangy tomato broth finished with parmesan. This version is vegetarian, feel free to add a little bacon for a more meaty flavour but it certainly isn’t necessary.
