  • Sicilian Minestrone Soup

    Sicilian Minestrone Soup

    This recipe is the result of a culinary search to recreate my grandfather’s legendary minestrone. It uses a “Hybrid” bean method: dried navy beans for a rich, velvet broth, and frozen gems for a bright, modern pop. It’s hearty, aromatic, and steeped in Sicilian tradition.
