Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add Tomatoes and Herbs

  • Stir in chopped tomatoes and rosemary (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add zucchini, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender.

Simmer the Soup

  • Remove the lid, add vegetable broth, water, kidney beans, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add Ravioli and Finish

  • Add cheese ravioli during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve

  • Serve warm, garnished with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Minestrone

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth instead of store-bought.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as green beans, peas, or potatoes. Add them along with the zucchini.
  • If using fresh herbs, add them during the last few minutes of cooking to preserve their bright flavor and vibrant color.
  • For a heartier soup, add a cup of cooked small pasta (like ditalini) along with the ravioli.
