Chef’s note

A chicken minestrone? Purist will say a real traditional minestrone soup doesn't contains chicken. Sure! But why not are a small change? The minestrone plus few good chicken chunks is consistent and ideal at the end of a day outside or in winter. To make a meal soup even more delicious, our chef suggest to add Savou cabbage (kale), rice or Italian pastas like orzo. Buon appetito!
