Quick Minestrone Recipe
When time is short but we still want a tasty and healthy soup this Minestrone recipe fits the bill perfectly.
When pushed I can have this delicious soup on the table in 10 minutes and the only complaint I have ever had was that there wasn't enough for second helpings! Using frozen ingredients helps to cut down on preparation time and many frozen vegetables are as good or even better than using fresh. This is particularly true of frozen peas, which go from field to freezer in minutes rather than days. To make 2 servings:
Break the spaghetti into short lengths and add to the gently boiling stock Peel and chop the tomatoes and add them to the boiling stock. Allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. Add the frozen vegetables and bring back to the boil. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Serve in warmed plates and top with the grated parmesan cheese. It's taken me longer to work out the calorie count and type the recipe out than it does to cook but this is such a tasty soup that I just have to share it!
