Il Minestrone della Nonna | The Classic Italian Vegetable Soup 🇮🇹 A bowl of Minestrone della Nonna is pure comfort — the kind of soup that warms your heart and fills your kitchen with the smell of home. Packed with colourful vegetables, simmered slowly with olive oil and Parmigiano crust, this traditional Italian soup is simple, wholesome, and full of love. Ingredients (for 4–6 pax): • 2 carrots • 1 zucchini • 200g green beans • 2 potatoes • 150g beans (any type you like) • 100g green peas • ¼ cauliflower • A handful of cherry tomatoes • 1 onion • About 2 litres of water • Olive oil • Salt • Parmigiano Reggiano crust (optional but highly recommended) Instructions: Finely chop the onion and add it to a large pan with olive oil. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until almost transparent. Dice all the vegetables to a similar size and add them to the pan. Sizzle for about 6 minutes without adding any water. Season with salt, then pour in just enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat. Continue adding water gradually as it reduces, allowing the soup to become thick and full of flavour — this takes about 1 hour. Halfway through cooking, add the crust of Parmigiano (whole or in pieces) for extra depth. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil and crusty bread — just like Nonna used to make. ⸻ Find more traditional Italian recipes like this at 👉 www.cookingwithtucci.com 👉 If you enjoy my videos, I’d really appreciate your support — even a small gesture makes a big difference.
