Minestrone – Full of nature’s blessings

Many people are likely to think of minestrone as a tomato-flavored reddish soup. However, in Europe, tomatoes are used as one of the ingredients. This soup cooked from plenty of fresh vegetables, grains, and proteins like pancetta or bacon is excellent for your body and mind. Please try this flavorsome soup.
