This easy Minestrone Soup is as healthy as it is hearty! Tender noodles, delicious veggies, and a savory broth will have you feeling full, warm, and happy.
Fresh grated or shaved parmesan cheesefor garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and saute until vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, beans, broth, green beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine.
Add the dry pasta and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until pasta is al dente (about 7-8 minutes). Remove from heat.
Stir in the chopped kale and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes until kale is softened and bright green. Ladle into bowls and serve with parmesan cheese!
Notes
This soup freezes really well for up to 3 months and keeps in the fridge for 3 days in an airtight container.
This soup is on the heartier side for minestrone, but still has lots of broth. Can be served with bread, crackers, or on it’s own!
You can sub in elbow noodles, shells, or any other smaller pasta noodle if you can’t find ditalini.
