How long does Classic Italian Minestrone keep in the fridge?

Classic Italian Minestrone keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Classic Italian Minestrone ahead of time?

Yes. Classic Italian Minestrone is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most italian vegan dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Classic Italian Minestrone?

Classic pairings include bread, olive-oil. For a complete italian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
