Cozy feeling: vegetable soup

Last week I was in bed with bronchitis. This constant weather madness made me really sick. Since I’m a singer, that is probably one of the worst things that can happen to me. I’m ok now so there is no need for a pity party. (Some hugs might be welcomed.)

Every time I get sick I make this soup also called «minestrone». I like to eat it when I’m not sick too because it is also low-calorie, has tons of vegetables and is really healthy.

Ingredients (serves 4)

-3 small zucchini

-1 medium tomato

-1/2 cabbage

-2 celery stalks

-1 small onion

-1 medium carrot

-10 basil leaves

-2 tbsp olive oil

-2 teaspoons salt

– Pinch of pepper

-4 3/4 cups water

Directions:

– Wash all vegetables then cut the zucchini, carrot and onion into circles.

– Chop the rest of the vegetables into small squares.

– In the large pot pour water and bring to boil.

– Once the soup is boiling, add the vegetables, olive oil, salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes.

– Place the lid half way on top. Cook for 45 min stirring occasionally.

There you go… warm and cozy homemade soup!
