Summer minestrone
When vegetables are so glorious and plentiful time to make this classic soup. With some bread and cheese it makes a lovely summer lunch. In fact its almost a vegetable stew! You can keep it vegetarian or add chicken stock and diced bacon for extra flavour. Without the parmesan and made with vegetable stock it would be suitable for vegans.
