Meatless Monday Minestrone

Inspired by the simple soup I made on Friday I put this minestrone together with vegetables I had on hand: leeks, savoy cabbage, butternut squash, carrots, celery and cranberry beans. Paired with a loaf of good crusty bread, some goat cheese and a glass of wine we enjoyed a light dinner. I used a cast iron dutch oven and slow cooked it all afternoon. I left it in the sealed Sun Oven until dinner time so there would be no need to reheat it. I plan on using the left overs for a risotto.
