The name minestrone soup translates from Italian as "big soup." And indeed, it is quite large, judging by the number of ingredients typically added to create a rich and flavorful soup. While there's no single recipe for minestrone, there are several characteristics that distinguish it from other soups. These include its composition of vegetables, legumes, and pasta. Traditionally, the vegetables are first sautéed in olive oil, then covered with broth, and the remaining ingredients are added. Minestrone prepared according to this recipe acquires the vibrant flavor of an Italian dish thanks to the tomato broth and basil.
