I think of minestrone as a cross between a soup and a stew. Maybe because it’s not blitzed, but mostly because it feels so hearty and comforting – like a big hug from your favourite Auntie. The tinned tomatoes bring all the vegetables to life in this Roman classic. While I like including small pasta shapes, such as macaroni, you can use other types of pasta. You can even break up any odds and ends of spaghetti to make it more like the classic tinned version.
