Our Chunky Minestrone Soup recipe couldn't be easier to make in your Thermomix. It take less than 45 minutes from start to finish and you will end up with enough soup to feel 4 - 6 adults - depending on their appetites of course 😉
This soup is REALLY filling thanks to the inclusion of ALL the veggies and also by using tomato passata. If you were wanting to make this recipe go further (or only have a tin of crushed tomatoes in your pantry) you can certainly add more water to the recipe - just make sure you don't exceed the maximum capacity line on your Thermomix!
