Following the rule of not wasting anything, in this minestrone, along with the classic vegetables, I used cauliflower leaves instead of savoy cabbage since I didn't have any. I just washed the carrots and potatoes and used them with the skin on, since they're organic.

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Wash the carrots and potato with water and baking soda to remove any dirt.

  2. 2

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower (save them for another recipe). Cut the tougher central part and blanch it for 7–8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and set aside. In a pot, sauté the garlic clove in olive oil. Add the potato and carrots, cut into pieces, along with the peas, celery, and parsley.

  4. 4

    Let them soften with 1/4 cup water (about 60 ml), then add the washed and chopped cauliflower leaves.

  5. 5

    Finally, add the central part of the cauliflower leaves that you blanched earlier. Season with salt.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on low heat so the vegetables cook in their own juices. If you want a soupier minestrone, add 1/2 cup hot water (about 120 ml). Cook until done and serve hot.
