Minestrone

This is such a healthy recipe! And so so yummy! I'm not a fan of tomatoes at all but I loooove this recipe..

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic
• 1 small brown onion, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 stalk of celery, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 100g of green beans, topped and tailed and cut to about 2-3cm
• 60g of cabbage
• 70g of bacon, diced
• 1 400g can of diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 2 cups of chicken stock

Over high heat, heat the oil in a frying pan (I actually like to use my wok because it gets so mud hotter). To the pan, add the garlic, bacon, onion, carrot and celery. Fry for about 3-5 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant. 

Add tomatoes, tomato paste and stock. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the zucchini, beans and cabbage and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Serve with crusty bread.
