Minestrone
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The plant pigment beta-carotene from the carrots acts as a cell protector and is also important as a precursor of vitamin A for strong vision and healthy skin. Savoy cabbage scores points with a good portion of vitamin C for a strong immune system.
For the vegan version of this green minestrone, the parmesan can be replaced by sliced almonds or pistachios.
