Minestrone
Today we have cooked a delicious minestrone, for those of you who don't know what it is, we will tell you that it is an Italian soup where fresh vegetables and herbs are the real stars. They are also usually accompanied by rice, pasta or legumes without forgetting an ingredient that provides a little fat such as butter, bacon, oil or lard.
We are going to opt for extra virgin olive oil and to make this a lighter dish we are going to add it raw at the end.
Ingredients
For 4 people:
- 150g aubergine

Preparation
- Wash the aubergine and courgette well and cut it into cubes. Next, peel the mushrooms and cut them into 4 or 6 pieces depending on their size.
- Peel the carrot, potato and pumpkin and cut them into cubes the size of the aubergine and zucchini. We shell the pea pods. Peel and remove the seeds from the tomatoes and chop them as well.

- We put all the ingredients in a tall saucepan 24cm Infinity BRA, fill with water to cover and salt. Put on the fire and let cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
