PROCEDURE

First of all, wash all the vegetables thoroughly and cut them into 1 cm squares also the cauliflower into small florets and possibly broccoli. If you are using leafy vegetables, cut them into medium-sized leaves. Then in a tall and large pot fry oil, onion, carrot and celery for 3 minutes with 2 – 3 tablespoons of oil then add cauliflower and potatoes and or all vegetables with a harder consistency. Finally cook for 5 minutes on low heat. Then also add peas, zucchini, tomatoes and or all the other leafy or soft vegetables you have chosen. Finally add 6 – 7 glasses of boiling water until the vegetables are completely covered. At this point let the stamp take, then close with a lid and lower the heat and cook slowly for 40 – 50 minutes. Be careful, that the vegetables do not fall apart but that they remain intact, well colored, even if juicy. In this way they will also retain all the nutritional properties. If necessary, add more boiling water. Add salt only at the end of cooking. Here is ready your vegetable minestrone.
