    👨‍🍳 Method
    1. Bloom the flavour foundation
    Heat the oil in a large pot.
    Add BlixSam Arm Maat, BlixSam Pasta a la Sam, and BlixSam Steakhouse directly to the oil and allow the spices to bloom gently for about 30 seconds.
    2. Build the soup base
    Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and potatoes.
    Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
    3. Build the richness
    Add the chopped tomatoes and stir well.
    Pour in the stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
    4. Add the hearty ingredients
    Add the mixed beans and cabbage (or spinach).
    Simmer for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the broth begins to thicken naturally.
    5. Finish the BlixSam way
    Add the pasta and cook until tender.
    Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
    Finish with fresh parsley before serving.

    💙 What is Minestrone Soup?
    Minestrone is a traditional Italian vegetable soup known for being hearty, filling and packed with texture.
    Unlike smooth soups, minestrone is chunky, rich and loaded with vegetables, beans and pasta.
    The broth is usually tomato-based and becomes naturally thick and comforting as the vegetables and starches cook together.
