ddThis Viral Blue Zones Longevity Minestrone Soup might just be one of the most nutritious and delicious meals and it's so easy to make at home.

The centenarians in Sardinia make their minestrone with loads of lard, but we think this is a nicer version. Minestrone is a much-loved soup all over Italy and it is so good served with this pesto-style dressing. In Sardinia they often use a kind of pasta called fregola in their minestrone, but you could also use broken-up spaghetti or any small pasta if you prefer. If you do have a bit of Parmesan rind in the fridge, sling it into the pot. Even if it looks dry, it’ll add flavour.

In our quest for immortality the Sardinians have taken a huge step forward with their longevity soup, the famous Sardinian minestrone.

Quick and simple with the use of canned beans, this soup can be made on a busy week night. Fresh vegetables, herbs, beans, tomatoes, and pasta make this hearty soup the perfect meal for a cold night. It tastes even better the next day and freezes well.

Ina Garten’s Winter Minestrone is a beloved recipe in my home. Tender vegetables like carrots, celery, onion and butternut squash with pancetta, cannellini beans, pasta and spinach. It’s the perfect soup for a cold winters day. Yields 6 to 8 servings.

Blue Zones are areas of the world where a higher-than-average number of people live much longer than the average age. A lot of this is attributed to their lifestyles and the food they eat. Sardinia is one of these places, and this soup is an island classic!
