How To Make Minestrone Soup

Minestrone Soup Recipe. Fresh Italian soup perfect for both winter and summer dining accompanied by warmed, crusty Ciabatta bread. Relish our Minestrone Soup recipe.

You Will Need

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 40 g butter
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 50 g bacon, chopped
  • 1 leek, halved lengthways and sliced
  • 250 g potatoes, peeled and finely diced
  • 150 g cabbage, quartered and shredded
  • 2 ltr vegetable or beef stock
  • 400 g can of chopped tomatoes
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 ladle


Step 1:

Heat the oil and butter

Take a large saucepan and add the olive oil and butter. Heat over a moderate temperature.


Step 2:

Add the onions and bacon

When the butter has melted, add the onions and bacon to the saucepan. Fry them for about 5 minutes or until the onions start to soften.


Step 3:

Add the leek, potatoes and celery

When the onions are softened add the remaining leek, potatoes and celery. Stir all the ingredients together and let the mixture cook for a few more minutes.


Step 4:

Pour in the stock and tomatoes

Pour in the stock followed by the can of tomatoes and stir together generously.


Step 5:

Add the cabbage

Immediately add the cabbage and bring the soup to a boil.


Step 6:

Season with salt and pepper

When the soup has broken into a boil, season it with salt and pepper and then leave to simmer gently for about 30 minutes


Step 7:

Taste and season

Once the soup has cooled taste it to see if more salt and pepper are needed and if so season again.


Step 8:

Serve with crusty ciabatta bread

Using a ladle serve the soup into soup bowls and present with crusty, warmed ciabatta bread and butter.
