Brussel sprout minestrone
Background
Minestrone is normally made with small or medium sized shell pasta, and seasonal vegetables. This Brussel sprout minestrone soup has green beans too, bit you can use broad beans or soya beans, if preferred. If you don’t have any green beans, use tinned white beans, such as cannelloni or butter beans. This soup is vegan and you can make it with gluten-free pasta too.

- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 large carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano or marjoram

- 1 cup small dried pasta
- 150g brussels sprouts
- 150g green beans
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Dice the carrot and celery.

- Stir for a minute, then add the vegetable stock and tinned tomatoes.
- Add the sprouts, then bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and green beans.
