Vegan Minestrone Soup
Hi friends! I’m excited to share this hearty and filling vegan minestrone soup recipe with you today. This soup is packed with vegetables and is perfect for a nourishing and satisfying meal.
There’s no particular method or specific ingredients required to make this minestrone soup – I simply used the most seasonal vegetables I could find, such as carrots, zucchini, and spinach. The addition of macaroni (carb) and beans (protein) makes this soup a wholesome and complete meal.
This vegan minestrone soup relies heavily on the use of tomatoes, so if you’re a fan of this delicious fruit, you’ll definitely want to give this recipe a try. Simply mix together all of the ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Serve this soup with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor. It’s the perfect meal for a cold day or when you’re in the mood for something hearty and filling. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Let’s go!
