Nutritional values

The potpourri of different vegetables in the fast minestrone provides a colourful composition of nutrients. Among them is for example the potassium from the zucchini for well-functioning muscles and nerves and for a balanced fluid balance in the cells. The protein from beans, potatoes and Parmesan cheese complements each other well and thus offers a high value of the body building material.

The fast minestrone can also be done in the vegetarian version without any problems: For this, the bacon has to be left out and the parmesan has to be replaced by a vegetarian cheese.
