Best 4 Vegetarian Minestrone Soup For The Winter Vegan Friendly Recipes

VEGAN MINESTRONE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven or pot, add the oil or water and saute the onion, carrot and celery for 5 minutes.
• Alternately, you can skip sauteing and add all the ingredients, except for the spinach, to a large pot, bring to a boil and continue with the recipe as written. This makes for one less step!
• Add remaining ingredients, except the spinach, bring to a boil, cover askew, reduce heat to low and simmer at a gentle boil for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Soup is done when veggies are tender and pasta is cooked. Add more broth or water as needed.
• Five minutes before soup is done, add the spinach and stir to mix.
• Let soup cool a few minutes and serve with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley on top. Pairs will with homemade Vegan Cornbread, crusty Artisan Bread or soft and chewy Vegan Naan for soaking up the juices.
• Serves 4 - 6
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This soup also freezes well and will last for up to 2 months.
