I am so glad to see someone make a soup with out a premade stock. That seems to be the style today and all these veggies make their own beautiful and delicious stock. This soup looks delicious!!
I made it today exactly as per your recipe and video. The best minestrone soup we have ever had. Easily beat the soup of the best Italian restaurants also... Amazing. Thanks a ton 🙏
This mixture of vegetables is dealiscious! I cooked it these days when it was pretty cold outside. The whole pot was eaten up in an instance. I didn't use the dried beans though. Yummy. Yummy. ☺️
Great looking recipe Vincenzo. I'll have to try adding pumpkin to mine next time. Karen and I make minestrone often and I agree with you adding the rosemary at the beginning and cheese at the end. It makes it so much better! Happy New Year to you and the family!!!!!
Ciao Vicenzo! I just made your Minestrone soup today, I have to say that I didn't have beans so instead I added chickpeas I hope you approve it because it was delicious! Oh and the touch of pecorino just took it to the next level! Maraviglia! Grazie mile!
Yum looks delicious i am making this soon perfect for raining days in Singapore drooling over my samsung gslaxy j4 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Vincenzo's Plate Going to make it Thursday. Usually by then, I have a pretty big bunch of still fresh but leftover veggies from the week and this looks like a great way to use them. Looking forward to it!
@@vincenzosplate hey I never tried but this seems like vegetable based indian curry with out too many masalas(herbs)....must be tasty will try this way soon..thank 😋 you Chef....
@@vincenzosplate Yes. I made it just recently. After starting to watch your channel (from January 23) I have made several delicious italian food (with no experience really). My wife loves my cookings and encourages me to try more recipes. Also I try to learn italian, it so beautiful language. Greetings to everyone, greetings to Nonna!
I am wondering why you did not put any garlic, basil, or any other italian seasonings. I always include those in my soup. Also many minestrone soups include cheese rinds for added flavor. Your soup looked fabulous. I just found your channel today. I am looking forward to more videos from you. 💟
Ciao Joan in the video I said I usually use the parmigiano rind but my wife doesn't like it so i didn't use it..also yes you can add any ingredients you like. Usually basil is not fresh in.winter so I don't use it but you can literally use any vegetable/ingredients you like. Thank you very much. Have a nice Sunday. We just finished a big italian feast with family
I tried this today and the result was amazing! Unfortunately, I couldn't get all of the ingredients and at the end my pot was too small, so I had to leave out the cabbage and the cauliflower, and I had to replace the pumpkin through the sweet potato. Still, I loved it so much! Thanks for sharing and warm greetings from Germany ❤
Vielen Dank for trying out the minestrone soup, and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it despite the ingredient adjustments. Cooking is an art, and you've added your own brushstrokes to the canvas! Thanks for sharing, and warm greetings from Italy to Germany! 🍲🇮🇹🇩🇪
@@vincenzosplate yes, I did try it and I took your advice and used the veggies that I love! I especially liked the lentils instead of the pasta. Oh sooooo yummy, thanks so much.
@@vincenzosplate I try this recipe and my siblings love Minestrone soup, this is for the first time I cook and it goes amazing thanks to you. Looking forward for more nice recipes😇
It's good to know I can add in whatever veggies I want. I think the mirepoix and tomatoes are essential though. I like to use kidney beans, black beans, and great northern beans. I would do kale in there too maybe in place of the broccoli or cabbage. I think it is nice to add noodles but it is healthier to avoid the carbs. I'd this with a steak though lol.
I love minestrone! I also love borscht, goulash soup, bouillabaisse, lobster bisque and some less known soups made from local products in my area. I don't think minestrone is the world's favourite soup, but it's very popular in Italy. I found several world soup ranking lists on the internet. Minestrone was in top ten in a few of them and in top 50 in most of the others, but never number one. That will not stop me from enjoying it!
I'm thrilled you loved the recipe! It's always a pleasure to hear positive feedback. Have you tried any of my other recipes yet? Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see on the channel! 🍽️😄
Almost exactly like mine but I cook longer in crock pot and use homemade vegetable stock that I make from my kitchen scapes no cauliflower sometimes cabbage but we usually add spinach a few basil leaves and 1 clove of garlic
Love you and your cooking and this minestrone looks amazing and surely will try it. Sorry the music in the background is too loud and disturbing while talking. Protect your back by elevating your work table ❤
Thank you for thinking of us from Europe who are sitting in the cold weather - The Ministrone soup - It looks so delicious. Thank you, Suzanne and Vincenzo, for sharing your video with us.
Looks like an a amazing recipe! I am making my first minestrone tomorrow and I have a question: the mixed beans - have they also been soaked, for the same amount of time as the lentils?
Rosemary and pecorino are indeed a fantastic combination of flavors to enhance many dishes, especially those in Italian cuisine. Their earthy and savory notes can complement a wide range of ingredients. Whether it's in pasta, roasted meats, or even as a topping for focaccia bread, these two ingredients can elevate the taste of your dishes. Enjoy experimenting with them in your cooking! 🌿🧀🍝😊
I have made a few variations of Minestrone over the years, some of which used chicken leg and thigh meat. Was it originally a vegetable-only dish? I have not used pumpkin. I have used proper turnips (not the huge "swedes" or rutabagas but the small white ones with the purple tops). Otherwise, the carrot, celery, onion, zucchini, and beans are there.
Great variations! Minestrone traditionally was veg-based. Pumpkin adds a lovely twist. Those small white turnips sound perfect. Keep experimenting, it's all about taste and tradition! 🍲🥕🥒🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate I made it finally. Used a stock with bone, leftover parmesan/grana padano rinds and left over guanciale skin. Also added some dill and bayleaf for flavour with basil tomato paste. Turned out good.
@@vincenzosplate Yes! I have a strange but wonderful custom In my home; Thursday it's "Italian Day" here. I spend the entire day listening to Italian music (mostly Vivaldi), and preparing Italian food. "YUM"! This is cheaper than therapy and probably more effective. Since I found you, I have learned much and have been inspired to prepare your delicious dishes as often as possible. I am especially impressed with the "secret ingredient" in all your dishes; "LOVE". "Ciao baby"!🥰
I tried making this tonight. It tast very good but mine looked a bit more yellowish instead of orange. I guess thats because I used a butter squash instead of the pumpkin?
Yes, the color can vary depending on the type of squash used. Using butternut squash instead of pumpkin might result in a slightly different color. Glad it tasted good! 👍🍽️
Pumpkins are out of season at the moment. Am using onions, celery, swede, carrots, red bell pepper and potato here. Also using onion purée as a base...
Indeed, classic carbonara focuses on simple ingredients. However, adding leafy herbs or spinach can bring a refreshing twist to the dish! Experiment and enjoy the delightful flavors. Buon appetito! 🍝🌿
Lovely dish. I prefer white beans over lentils an more greens (escarole, kale and chard) and garlic in after carrots, celery, fennel and and leek. I use a huge bunch of herbs (rosemary, thyme and sage) but like you remove them before serving. I also use more tomatoes than you and will sometimes use a bit of crushed canned tomatoes as well. I bet if I tried your pumpkin trick, I wouldn't need that. Next time! .
Your variation sounds fantastic, adding your personal touch to the dish! 🍲😊 Experimenting with ingredients is part of the fun in cooking. Enjoy your next attempt, and maybe the pumpkin will be a game-changer! 🎃👨🍳🇮🇹
Love your videos, but one thing: Peccorino Cheese is not counted as vegetarian (also Parmigiano), cause of the rennet. So if people want to go vegetraian, they should use cheese which is made with microbial rennet
You're absolutely right! Using cheese made with microbial rennet is a great option for those following a vegetarian diet. Thanks for pointing that out! 🌱🧀
@@vincenzosplate That really depends. Locally produced produce that is in season is always better no questions asked. After that things start to get a bit murky. Local produce that is then cryogenically frozen (-70/80 C) or even machine frozen (-40 C) is of a very high quality. After that comes produce that had to travel half of the globe to your table, and actually ripens in transit with the help of additives, but technically is fresh (it has half of the flavour and even lover than that for nutrition). And the last stage is produce that had to travel a very long way and was then frozen and after that shipped to the chosen destination (sadly this is what a lot of frozen food consists of).
I personally would put some vegetable stock in there and some pasta shells or some other pasta because to me it’s not minestrone soup without the pasta 🤔
Certainly! Minestrone is quite flexible, and you can add meat if you prefer. Traditionally, it's a vegetable-based soup, but adding meat like diced pancetta, ground beef, or Italian sausage can give it a heartier flavor. It's all about personal preference and creating a version that you enjoy. Buon appetito! 🥄🍲🇮🇹😋
@@vincenzosplate i did it, my family loved it, especially with the broccoli and cauliflower, I never cooked it like that before. I grated a bit of parmigiano reggiano on top. and it was : oh yeah, oh yeah, great!!

Just admit it Vincenzo you have been replaced by aliens
