Very simple yet very tasty this minestrone with cabbage and rice. Brown rice, cauliflower, carrots, celery, leek, a little pumpkin, vegetable broth. That’s it, try it with me.
I love soups and minestrones and often, whether it’s summer or winter, I prepare them in the evening, sometimes with legumes, very often with grains. Try them also with rice cream or turn them into a velouté and don’t forget at the end a teaspoon of miso. You’ll taste how good it is.
