Minestrone from the Italian for big soup has been a symbol of cucina povera for centuries, built on seasonal vegetables and whatever aromatic herbs defined the regional pantry. This updated sun-dried tomato minestrone pairs concentrated tomato powder with five herbs in a customizable, meal-starter format that makes every pot a fresh expression of the Tuscan tradition.

Concentrated sun-dried tomato brings a sweet, jammy intensity that fresh tomato paste cannot match; a quintet of Italian herbs adds the aromatic complexity that makes the broth smell like it has been simmering for hours; and a savory chicken stock base ties every ingredient into something genuinely satisfying.
