Toasted Minestrone Bowl

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, vegetable stock and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the minestrone and let it toasted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the yellow onion along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
