Minestra

Minestra is a Maltese traditional vegetable soup very similar to the Italian Minestrone. Rich with beans and mixed pulses hearty soup is very healthy. Also very easy to make, you can simply throw everything in a pot, add water, and simmer. I prefer to lightly fry the onion, carrots, and celery first to give it more flavour. Nonetheless, the result is always guaranteed! You can also add some small pasta in the end.
