Winter minestrone
This winter minestrone soup make you feel lovely and warm on cold days! The following recipe is very popular in the Liguria region in Italy – where they serve it with pesto and Parmesan. If you want to keep it vegan or have dairy issues, then use vegan products or serve the soup without them (it’s still very yummy and hearty!)
