Ingredients for Minestrone Soup:

Olive oil - 1 tbsp.

Red onion - 1/2 cup (chopped)

Carrot - 1 (diced)

Garlic - 1 clove (minced)

Fat-free, unsalted chicken broth - 4 cups

Small zucchini - 1 (sliced and diced)

Fresh basil - 2 tbsp. (chopped)

Red wine - 1/2 cup (optional)

Method of preparing the Minestrone Soup:

Oil a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and stir for another minute. Drain and rinse the beans.

Chef's Tip:

If you're not familiar with the DASH diet, here is the gist: DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The dash diet is a healthy eating plan meant to help lower blood pressure without the need for medication. To do so, it promotes low-sodium meals that include lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. It reduces foods that contain high levels of saturated fats (fatty meat and full-fat dairy products etc.) and sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets.
