This dish provides a wide array of vegetables (all sorts of vitamins) coupled with flavour (not too intense though for the little ones), ease of eating (it is coarse soup if you like) and mixes very well with a child friendly Garofalo pasta like Risoni (providing all the nourishment that this brings).Ingredients:100 gr parmigiano,1 cup of Garofalo orzo (to cook separately),1 cup frozen/fresh garden peas,1 cup borlotti beans (fresh or frozen),1 shallot,1 celery stick,3 potatoes,1 celery stick,3 medium sized tomatoes,¼ savoy cabbage,1 broccoli floret,1 leek,1 carrot,Basil leaves (to add at the end),Method:All the above (except basil) diced and placed in a large pan with at least 1 litre of boiling water.Season and cook for 1 hr minimum.Blitz either all or half to a coarse puree' with a hand held blender.Cook the pasta separately and once Al Dente place into the soup, stir and simmer for a couple of minutes and add finely chopped basil leaves and sprinkle some good quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve at once and enjoy. In summer (if hot!) the minestrone can be had at room temperature.It is amazing how popular dish can be with children who would normally not get anywhere near such an array of vegetables.
