1Minestrone (min-ih-STRO-nee) is one of the most popular Italian dishes and is probably eaten more throughout Italy than pasta is. Minestrone is the name for a variety of thick soups made with vegetables. People often add onions, celery, carrots, squash, and potatoes to this soup, since there is no set recipe. It is usually made with whatever vegetables are in season at a certain time. It can be vegetarian, can contain meat, or may even have pasta or rice. Minestrone always has a jumble of ingredients, since you can add any kind of vegetables, meats, or pastas you like.
