This meal, which is packed with vegetables and legumes, is inspired by food from one of the world’s Blue Zones - areas where people live extraordinarily long lives.
“Sardinia is one of the rare Blue Zones in the world, which means people are more likely to live to 100 years old.
According to data, around 33.6 people per 100,000 inhabitants in Sardinia reach the age of 100 or older, making it one of the regions with the highest concentration of centenarians globally.
Italian chef Francesco Mattana took to social media platform TikTok to share his “live to 100 minestrone” recipe.
He said: “I don't use any vegetable stock for this one so I'm going to build those flavours using sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and basil.”.
