Hearty Healthy and Quick Minestrone Soup

February 20, 2020

You’ve hit the jackpot today. I’m gifting you my easiest soup recipe that is also delicious and nutritious! I found the original recipe in a magazine a few years ago, and adapted it slightly. I double it every time I make it because, why not? It’s so quick.

Minestrone can be pronounced with three syllables or four (with a long e at the end). We are big soup fans over here, and I was surprised to find a soup so tasty with so few ingredients. Other recipes take more time and more effort. Of course, if you’ve been cooking as long as I have, you’ll no doubt see opportunities for variations.

Minestrone Soup

1 28 oz can diced tomatoes with herbs

3 quarts chicken broth or other broth

1 16 oz can chick peas, rinsed and drained

1 red or yellow pepper, chopped (Tip: save time by chopping ahead).

1 teaspoon basil

2 teaspoons herbes de provence (If you’re fancy like me; if not add other seasonings to taste.)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 Cup penne pasta (regular or GF )

3 Cups baby spinach

In large soup pot combine tomatoes, 3 quarts broth, peppers, chick peas, and seasonings.

Bring to boil; reduce heat and cook until peppers are nearly done.

Add pasta; cook until done.

Last 10 minutes of cooking, add spinach.

In my book it’s a must to include fresh Parmesan and crusty homemade Artisan Bread. You can locate the bread recipe on my blog. Just remember to leave out the bandaid!

Bon Appetit!
