Clean the savoy cabbage by removing the outer leaves, cut it into strips, and then rinse it well under running water.
Clean the carrot and dice it.
Peel the onion and chop it.
In a large saucepan, pour a little oil and add the carrot and onion, let it soften.
Add the cabbage, a ladle of broth, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes until the cabbage is soft.
At this point, add the rice and cover with broth. Start cooking the rice, stirring occasionally, and adding hot broth as it absorbs, just like you would for risotto.
Cook the rice for the time indicated on the package, then salt, add a grind of pepper, check the cooking and the broth, it should remain creamy, like a minestrone.
Turn off the heat, add the parmesan, and stir.
