Best Answer

"Big serving" and "big soup" are literal English equivalents of the Italian word minestrone.

Specifically, the word functions as a masculine noun in its singular form. It is formed by adding the augmentative ending -one ("big, great, large") to the feminine noun minestra ("broth, soup"). It ultimately originates in the Latin present infinitive ministrare in the sense of "to attend, to wait upon" tables. It tends to translate loosely as "potage, vegetable soup" since it traditionally uses fresh or left-over vegetables.

The pronunciation will be "MEE-ne-STRO-ne" in Italian.
