Minestrone in a multicooker
Description
A hearty first course dish. I think many of you are familiar with the situation when, in summer during the vegetable season, so many vegetables accumulate at home that you no longer know what else to cook from this abundance. But now I know the solution to this problem and I suggest you a simple recipe for minestrone soup in a multicooker, for which we'll need as many different vegetables as possible. This is exactly what makes this Italian soup unique—it turns out very thick and rich thanks to the large number of ingredients. And since we'll be cooking it in a multicooker, our task is minimized: we just chop the vegetables and put them into the pot, and then we can go about our business while the appliance does the work for us—convenient, isn't it? So here's another excellent recipe for preparing minestrone in a multicooker, one you could make almost every day.
