Easy 30-Minute Minestrone Soup

This Easy 30-Minute Minestrone Soup is a great way to use up all the veggies in your fridge at the end of the week. It’s also loaded with flavour and ready in 30-minutes. 

To make, you’ll start by sautéing the onion, carrots, and celery in oil until soft. You’ll then add garlic, beans, tomatoes, pasta, and spices and bring to a boil to allow the pasta to cook. You’ll finish by adding in spinach and lemon juice to boost the flavour.  Yum!

I love that this soup is loaded with vegetables and lower in sodium than the pre-made version. Bean-based soup is also a great way to start adding vegetarian protein to your diet if you’re a plant-based newbie. Enjoy leftovers throughout the week or freeze for a healthy frozen dinner! 

What you’ll need: 

• 4 tbsp olive oil

• 1 large onion

• 1 small zucchini

• 1 1/2 large carrots

• 2 celery stalks

• 4 garlic cloves

• 8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

• 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
