The great Italian soup

Minestrone soup is a genuine Italian vegetable soup. But if we look at recipes for minestrone soup, each and every Italian will surprise us with his or her own version. So what exactly is minestrone soup?

Minestra is the Italian word for soup and minestrone is the superlative for soup. No wonder then that Minestrone is also known as 'the great soup'. There is no single recipe for minestrone soup, it all depends on the season and the region where it is prepared. The soup is often filled with seasonal vegetables and the Italians like to add beans, rice or pasta. And so you end up with a richly filled Italian meal soup.
