The great thing about this dish it’s so colorful.
The many vegetables make it really healthy. Children can also help diligently, because there has to be a lot of chopping.
The herbs give the soup its Mediterranean flavor and the beans give us proteins and make us full.

Minestrone sounds just a bit more interesting.
So sleeves up, just cut the vegetables finely and with a little patience you have within 1 hour a delicious meal on the table.
