STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE
Step 1
Prepare vegetable broth for the minestrone. Cut the carrots into small slices, the leek into 4 pieces and divide into scales, the zucchini into thick circles, the celery root into bars. Pour water into a large saucepan, put on high heat, add all the vegetables for the broth, bring to a boil with the lid open. Then simmer over medium heat with a quiet boil without a lid, periodically skimming off the foam, for 20 minutes. Infuse ready-made broth for 30 minutes and strain through a waffle towel.
Step 2
Prepare the pesto sauce. Chop the garlic very finely. Grind pine nuts and herbs with a pestle and mortar. Mix all ingredients with olive oil until smooth.
Step 3
Divide the broccoli into inflorescences. Cut the beans across into 0.6 cm bars. Cut the zucchini into 0.5 x 0.5 cm cubes and cut the cherry into quarters.
Step 4
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil, put broccoli in it and cook until half cooked. Then add green beans, green peas, zucchini and cook until vegetables are tender. 1 minute before the end of cooking, finish off the cherry, salt.
Step 5
Pour the finished soup into a plate. Tear the basil leaves with your hands and add to the soup. Serve pesto sauce with the soup.
