Minestrone with Girasoli

Prep: 10 minCook: 20 minTotal: 30 minServings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 350 g (12 oz.) mixed vegetables (fennel, peas, carrots, cabbage)
  • 1 l (4 cups) vegetable broth
  • salt & pepper
  • vegan girasoli, hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion and sauté in olive oil until translucent.
  2. Wash the vegetables and cut into small pieces, add to the pot and let sweat briefly.
  3. Deglaze with the vegetable broth.
  4. Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the girasoli to the hot soup and let steep for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve scattered with hemp seeds.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: really sweat the vegetables for a few minutes before the broth goes in – it brings noticeably more flavor. I always add the girasoli at the very end and just let them steep so they don't burst. If you like the soup heartier, add white beans or chickpeas; a spoonful of pesto or a little lemon zest brings freshness.
