Thick Italian soup made with vegetables. There are plenty of variations of this soup throughout Italy. Some like using pasta as base while others rice.

Send To A Friend
200 g fresh white beans
2 red skinned onions
2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
2 potatoes
3 courgettes ( zucchini )
1/4 cabbage
200 g rice
stock
olive oil

Fry the onion, finely chopped, and the other vegetables ( diced ) in 8 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, stirring often with a spoon.

Keep the saucepan covered so that the vegetables sweat in their own juice for as long as possible. As soon as you see that the juice is seeping out is no longer sufficient, add enough water to completely cover them. Leave too cook slowly for about an hour, with the lid on, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Finally, add the rice and boiling water to submerge everything again. Stirring frequently, simmer gently for another 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy!!!!

NOTES: If made with rice this dish is only served hot. Substituting the rice with pasta ( pennette or maccheroncini suggested ) makes an excellent cold dish. When eating cold you can add basil on top to give it a summer feeling.
