Spring Vegetable Minestrone

The soup should be brothy rather than stew-thick, with every vegetable still holding its shape.

Two additions, twenty minutes apart, is the whole trick: slow vegetables first, quick ones last.

Minestrone is a method, not a fixed list — swap whatever is in season into the second batch of vegetables.

A hard scrape of the pan after the tomato paste is where most of the depth comes from.
