La Minestrone Auténtica - La Sopa Italiana de Verduras (página 2 de 2)Home >> Recetas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente
Ahora para el toque italiano elegante. El ingrediente secreto #2 es una rebanada de chicharrón (piel de cerdo) (a la izquierda) reciclado al cortar el tocino. No te lo vas a comer y lo quitaré de la sopa al final, pero le añadirá sabor. Por lo que respecta al ingrediente secreto #3, el más importante y el más italiano de los ingredientes es la costra de parmesano (a la derecha), cortada del trozo de parmesano que utilizaremos después. Los chicos en Italia se pelean para ver quien se lo come, y añade sabor a la sopa.
Una varita de romero o tomillo se cocinará con la sopa. Puedes añadir hojas de laurel y amarrar todo en la hoja exterior de un poro para un poco de técnica francesa.
Los ejotes recién cortados y la calabacita. No te preocupes de sobrecocer la calabacita, la intención es que se cuezan tanto que se volverán un delicioso puré que ayudará a espesar la sopa.
Después de 20 minutos de lavar, quitarles los tallos y cortar las hojas de espinaca, finalmente están listas para ser añadidas a la sopa (a la izquierda). Los frijoles cocidos (a la derecha) se cuelan de su caldo negro de cocción (en la misma foto en la parte trasera, haz click para acercar la foto). Tapa y cuece a fuego bajo hasta que la mayoría de las verduras comiencen a deshacerse sin que las tengas que machacar - como 3 horas.
Saca el chicharrón, las hojas de laurel y las hierbas. Agrega un poco de perejil o albahaca finamente picados. Ajusta la sazón con sal y pimienta de ser necesario.
Con un triturador de papas machaca las verduras. El espíritu de esta sopa es muy distinto a las sopas de hoy en día, en las que las verduras deben cocerse al dente, quedar un poquito duras y ser reconocibles. Aquí cocinamos todo por largo tiempo hasta que el sabor de cada componente se une en una mezcla de puro cielo de verduras. Las vitaminas ciertamente se pierden en el largo proceso de cocción.
Aquí la tienes. Sirve la sopa con pan a la parrilla, aceite de oliva crudo y un poco de queso parmesano recién rallado.
Puedes recalentar esta sopa al día siguiente, y también el que le sigue y hasta comerla fría. Ya que la mayoría de los ingredientes se han disuelto en la sopa, la textura se mantiene bien y apetecible. Hice esta sopa el martes pasado y comí una poca todas las noches hasta el viernes. 2 galones de sopa para 4 comidas ¡No está mal! 1531986 visitas Márcarlo con:¿Te gusta este artículo?

Hi fx!Love your site :) One thing though can you please recommend a vegetarian version of the minestrone? This looks so good I really want to give it a try but I'm vegetarian.. Thanks for your help!ET- #2
- Comment by Lali
This is certainly something I am going to try soon! I love minestrone, but I have never tried this kind of "thick" one. I think my family would hate it though (they are picky like that!). The picture of the prepared dish reminds me of the lentil dish that I tried at Elide's place (an old italian woman, friend of my mom), it was so delicious! (and so simple!)- #3

Hey! Thats just delicious just from reading I can taste it.btw From the pig skin (I mean the rind of a bacon) you can prepare a sald - after cooking it slowly for a long time (I believe it is the one from your soup would be great) cut it finely, add some onions and some vinigar and oil - its delicious.sts who strongly believes that if you kill an animal you should eat evrything you can eat.- #4

I've always been disappointed with minestrones, wherever I had them -not Italy. This looks nice though and if I come across a trotter I'll have a go myself. Now, where did I see those trotters last time...I like the pig-skin-trick. I often do a similar thing with the hard leathery-fatty part of a block of ham (skin I suppose); add it into the frying pan to boost flavour.- #5

Oh, dear! The soup sounds delicious. But, what if my husband is Jewish? Is there another type of equally flavorful meat I could use?- #6
- Comment by Kathy
Yummy! That looks very good. As for the vitamins, the vitamins leached out of the vegetables will be found in the water. So, you don't lose any vitamins if you drink all the yummy juices. Thanks for the recipe!- #7

Kathy, thanks for the tip on vitamin A. Are you sure the long simmering does not destroy this vitamin? How about other vitamins?- #8

Hey I did a minestrone soup just a few minutes ago and posted it on my blog, I love seeing the different technique on this one and great quality pictures.- #9

Johnny, thanks a lot for visiting, I am glad that professionals like FXcuisine.com too! I visited your blog, great stuff! If you allow me, in French, kitchen is feminine, so it ought to be 'La petite cuisine' for 'The little kitchen'. Here it is more 'The small guy's kitchen'. Of course only a French speaker might notice it so never mind and keep the good work!- #10

Hey Lady,After reading this thing a couple of days ago, I felt enormous craving for minestrone soup.
It was already late, and I didn't have time to do the shopping and cooking so I went to a local restaurant and ordered the Minestrone soup. I never expected that it was so great as in your recipe, but I expected something that was closer that the stuff the served me.
The soup I got was made with stock from a pack and also tomato powder.
I was so disappointed and sent it back with a sour face telling them that it wasn't minestrone, but some kind of tomato soup.
Was i right?

Johnny, this is a most delicious soup, I cooked it twice, using seasonal vegetables, in the last 10 days! Just had it an hour ago - you need to try it.- #18
- Answered by fx
Johnny, restaurant minestrone is crap and you were very right to send it back. You are doing them a service. I think the only really reliable minestrone is made in a family or by yourself. It's no big deal once you found the vegetables, and there is much leeway in the choice, just take what looks nice in the season. The peeling and carving takes some time, but it's great fun too!- #19

Hi Fx, what soupah looking soup!regarding your line: "Vitamins are certainly lost in the long cooking process though." I have read recently that cooking does NOT destroy the nutritional content of vegetables! (despite what we had all been told by probably our mothers) It is when vegetables are boiled and the nutrients leech into the cooking water and the cooking water is discard that the loss occurs. As the cooking water is retained in soups there is no loss of vitamins. Isn't that good news!
Did I mention I cooked the Beef Bourguignon? All eaten on the night, none left. All gone. Fantastic!

Simon, glad my recipes worked for you! In my house my mom always served the cooking liquid of the vegetables as a first course so that we wouldn't lose the precious vitamins, so I guess she concurs with you! Pity in our day and age we tend to cook things less and less.- #21
- Comment by Walter Aprile
One thing you might want to add is that it is better if you scrape the Parmigiano rind a bit, before adding it to the soup. The rind on Parmigiano cheese is regularly brushed with vegetable oils of dubious quality during the aging process, and these oils do go rancid, as the aging takes quite a long time. Plus, the rind is really the outer skin of the cheese - Parmigiano is not packaged in anything as it is transported in trucks with people with boots climbing on the cheese wheel, you get the picture.Just a little scraping: maybe one millimeter, just enough to get the outer layer off. For metrically-challenged readers, one millimeter would be more or less 1/25 of an inch. No, better, 5/128th of an inch, to stay with the tradition of using unspeakably inconvenient fractional measures.

Walter you are very right not to trust the Parmesan rind, in fact I know use mostly actual Parmesan and not especially the rind, who knows what they use on the outer crust!- #23

Very easy to follow and great photography. Thank You!!!- #25
- Comment by giovanni
This one is an absolutely fabulous recipe and wouldn't dare suggesting any change. But I remember that in the very traditional farming communities of northern Italy some red wine was added to the concoction, probably to add some sharpness or possibly to get everyone happily drunk on minestrone. I adored your version. Giovanni- #27

I have 1 hour left of cooking time, but so far I am a bit grossed out by this soup. The greasy factor is overwhelming. I dont know what i did wrong aside from using slightly different vegetables. I do not really believe that matters though b/c it is meant to just be seasonal vegetables. My pig trotters were cut up, maybe that is why i have such a greasy soup/ I dont know, some people may like that but i personally do not, i really hope with further cooking it goes away- i already pulled out all the pork skin/ pig trotter pieces and cheese. I am quite upset that it is not tasty and I hope i can fix it.- #28

update: My husband classes this as a top 5 recipes out of all the things i have made for him. I guess I just dont have the pallate for this soup. Oddly enough the other things he enjoys I also do not particularly like- such as beef bourginion. So just goes to show you, everyone is different, but according to my husband this is just amazing. This soup DID get substantially better the next day and after being mushed a little bit, but i just simply find the flavors too savory for my liking.- #30
- Comment by Michelle
This is delicious even without the pig foot. More than one vendor at my local market has a pile of pig's feet (for sale!) but I couldn't quite bring myself to buy one. This is bringing me very fond memories of my one trip to Italy - thank you!- #32
- Comment by Goregoregirl
Hi! I'm italian but it seems you know much better our traditional dishes than me :-)I think that minestrone soup's recipe can really change according to the different regions. I live in Rome and here minestrone soup is made of vegetables only. I've never tried to use bacon or piggy trotter. Also, as far as I know my mom use to put the pig skin in another striclty "roman" recipe called "fagioli con le cotiche". I totally agree with the grated parmesan (sooo tasty on each pasta or soup recipe!)but what about the crust? I barely know it can be eat! :D I have to try it!

Is there also a vegetarian variant of this Minestrone recipe available, because I wouldn't want to use trotters and bacon? Fasulye- #36

.I learned how to make Minestrone.... reading the ingredients from a can of Campbell's soup, way before we could dream of Internet to see your fabulous recipe. People love my minestrone; if I make changes, they scream.
Campbell's never mentioned a dash of Parmesan Cheese, let alone Pecorino. Very important to find out now.
Thanks for the news about the "pig feet"; in my country we are slaves to pig tails, rind, ribs, salted any part of.... We love it. Problem is I would have to put a couple pieces for each diner; I told you we love pig, and each one would want a complete foot, believe me. Up to now I've been using salted pig tails, fresh ribs & ham. Ground beef and pieces of beef, too. Never chicken.
I also love the news that Campbell's is not my guide. That it is best to use what is in season, nice & fresh. Hurray.
For this soup I am not prone to go al dente, but will stay a little away from mushy. Say, well done and some thickness to it.
I will make an effort to go natural and I look forward to try to imitate the shade of soup you show us. Up to now I go a little heavy on Paprika and tomato.... to attain an orangy shade. But will try to acquire the shade that you show. I find that attractive too.
Thanks for the step by step that is so easy to follow.
A kiss and a hug....

I ADOOOOOOORE this recipe and so do all my friend. I have done it over and over again and it's true that the secret ingredients make one hell of a difference. I don't use the diced bacon because of an allergy problem but the trotters make up for it in flavour. Spinach is a very good addition.Thank you !!!!
Kind regards
Cathy Cooper
The bit I like most is the piece of ungrated Parmesan (rind or crumb) that cooks in the soup. It really works wonders towards the final flavor.

¡Hola!¡Tú sí que sabes...! Las sopas bien hechas como lo hacían nuestras madres (ya son abuelas) son lo mejor que podemos comer. ¡Si nuestras abuelas vivían fuertes hasta muy viejas!
Todo eso de la nutrición es un fraude. Si yo te contara... Nos tratan como si fueramos robots. No somos la suma de vitaminas y demás tonterías. Yo lo que como es ¡comida! O sea, energía o vida. ¡Hay que comer caliente! Esta es la sabiduría de siempre.
Te lo escribo porque te lo mereces.

I have been searching all morning for a recipe that is like the minestrone that my Noni used to make. This is the first time I found one that is thick like hers. It sound so wonderful I have made a shopping list and will be preparing for freinds this weekend. I will be back. Thanks so much.Joanne

Muchas gracias por la receta, aunque haré algunas modificaciones en la cocción ya que no nos gusta las sopas con las verduras sobre cocidas, que son mas bien como pastas, de igual forma todos los ingredientes son geniales para incluirlos, muchas gracias!- #56
