Nutritional values

The broccoli convinces with the immune booster vitamin C and does not burden the digestion too much. The beta-carotene from the carrots, as a precursor of vitamin A, is important for eyesight and promotes healthy and good-looking skin. With the white beans and parmesan, Italian minestrone is a good source of protein: The amino acid profiles of both ingredients complement each other and make the total protein even more valuable for the body.

To make Italian minestrone vegetarian, all that is needed is to replace the Parmesan cheese with another type of cheese that is not made with animal rennet.
