Blue zones da da da this minone soup’s going to keep me alive over the next month I’m going to be making Blue Zone recipes from different regions all around the world from okanawa Japan to ncoa Costa Rica to today’s recipe which hails from the beautiful Sardinia region of Italy if you’ve never heard of blue zones.
Basically they are parts of the world where they have the most concentrated areas of centenarians which are people who live past a hundred what causes this phenomena you ask great question basically they live almost completely off of a whole food plant-based diet that consists richly of beans and legumes vegetables leafy greens fruits.
Nuts seeds and whole grains and very limited animal products I don’t know about you but I very much would like to live well into my hundreds So today we’re going to be making the meal that has supposed kept the oldest family in the world alive for well as long as they’ve been alive well into their hundreds and that is a Minon soup.
Without further Ado let us make the elixir of Life Minon soup so let’s quickly talk ingredients now Minon soup does have a few kind of you know key essential ingredients such as onion carrot celery and some garlic canned diced tomatoes also essential but of course if you don’t have canned tomatoes but you have fresh you can use those.
Those beans are an absolute non-negotiable you can’t have a Minon without some beans now the easiest root is to use canned beans which is what I am doing today I’m just using some red kidney beans but you could use chickpeas pinto beans fava beans calini beans Great Northern beans whatever beans you have about 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups is really.
All you need when it comes to adding extra veggies you can absolutely use up whatever extra veggies you have in your fridge I happen to have some zucchini so we’ll be using that and then if you want to make your soup a little bit more sustaining a little bit more um filling you can always add some rice or some pasta now it’s very common to use like.
Short or small pastas like shells or daalin Italian seasoning or any other dried herbs like oregano basil rosemary sage those will all work fine and some fresh herbs now this is more of a nice to have but I do highly recommend that if you have some herbs chop them up use them I’m going to use cilantro parley’s idea but that’s fine we’re just rolling.
With it so let’s prep our vegetables we’re going to mince up our garlic we’re going to dice up our onion celery and carrot and our zucchini all very straightforward choppy choppies I almost forgot potatoes chop those too bellisimo all right let’s go take this party over to the stuff so get your pot.
Warming up with a few tablespoons of olive oil or some water and we’re just going to start by sautéing our garlic and onion for about 2 or 3 minutes just until it’s a little bit fragrant and slightly softened and translucent you know the drill next we’re going to add a couple tablespoons of tomato paste right into the onion and garlic and then we’re.
Just going to add in all of their veggies the potatoes the zucchini the carrot the celery plus our 1 tbspoon of Italian seasoning give it all a good mixy mixy and then we’re just going to let these beautiful veggies cook down until they’re slightly softened with the lid on for about 6 to 7.
Minutes gorgeous darling okay so now we going to add pretty much everything else so we’re going to add in our 28 Oz can of diced tomatoes our can of beans plus our 1 and 1/2 cups of pasta noodles half a teaspoon of kosher salt a few healthy grinds of fresh black pepper plus five cups of Veggie broth give it a beautiful sensual mixy Mixie personally I like my.
Ministr a little bit more brothy than this so I’m probably going to add another one to two cups but you do you boo okay we’re going to cover it bring it to a boil and let it live its best life for approximately 12 to 15 minutes let those Passa noodles get nice and Al Dente M Mambo Italiano I crack myself up I tell you I.
Tell you I tell you okay for real though I think the soup is done Q romantic music okay before we get to the taste test I just have to say this little pasta noodles look like ears they look like little ears okay anyway moving on I’m very excited I’m.
Very hungry so this should be good oh smells good oh mama M I have a song coming to me as I eat this blue zones your people live really old without disease in their hearts cuz they eat foods that are ho yeah I mean I would eat this every day if this soup would keep me living to.
