Could a simple, inexpensive and easy-to-make soup help you live longer? It's certainly worth a try — especially if that soup is as delicious as this minestrone from the book "The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People."

In the book, author Dan Buettner explores the lives and eating habits of groups of people renowned for their longevity. The hearty soup recipe, which comes from a Sardinian family who Buettner calls "the world's longest lived family," is chock full of beans, vegetables and herbs so it's as satisfying as it is tasty.
