How to make minestrone soup with Thermomix:

- We introduce half of the vegetables into the Thermomix glass and program the machine for 5 seconds at speed 4. In this way, we will chop the vegetables.
- When they are, remove the vegetables from the glass and reserve them. Repeat the same process with the other half of the vegetables. We also reserve them.
- Put the onion cut into four pieces and the sliced leek into the Thermomix glass. We chop these ingredients programming the machine in the same way as in the previous steps, that is, 5 seconds at speed 4.
- Pour the oil and fry the onion and leek for 3 minutes, at varoma temperature and speed 1.
- We add the vegetables that we have reserved, the water and the salt. Then, we program the machine as follows: 25 minutes at a temperature of 100ºC and speed 1.
- And ready! Once the time has passed, you can remove the minestrone soup and serve it warm. And for dessert…, I encourage you to prepare a delicious cappuccino tiramisu!
