Hearty Minestrone Soup made with Tomato Puree


Minestrone soup is a perfect warmer for a brisk winter day. This particular hearty minestrone is also a great choice for the ordinary and non-special days in life when you just want to relax and enjoy.

Made with Tomato puree

Mutti® Tomato Puree (Passata) is sun-ripened 100% Italian tomatoes transformed into sweet velvety puree with just a touch of Mediterranean sea salt. After eliminating the skin and seeds, the tomatoes are pureed to achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while maintaining their bright red color and naturally sweet flavor. Fantastic in marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary.
