How to Prepare Minestrone from the Frozen Mix
This recipe is designed for a 3-liter pot.
1) First, prepare the broth. If you’re fasting, using just water is delicious!
2) Heat a skillet with a little olive oil, add the frozen vegetables without thawing, and sauté, covered, over low heat for 10-15 minutes. After turning off the heat, press in 1 garlic clove with a garlic press.
3) Add the sautéed vegetables to the boiling broth and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
4) Five minutes before it’s done, add a dry mix of Italian herbs, pepper, and a bay leaf.
Sprinkle the soup with grated cheese and fresh herbs when serving.
Whenever I cook boiled-meat dishes and have leftover broth, I freeze it too. It keeps for 2 weeks.
